Black Lab - Wash it away

Wash it in the sea let it soak all night
Wash it in the sea let the saltwater wash it away
Soak it in bleach till its white on white
Soak it in bleach till the blood just washes away

Hang it in the wind let it blow all night
Hang it up high, let the high wind blow it away
Hang it in the wind let the sun burn bright
Hang it in the wind till the blood just washes away

I have waited wasted years
For the child that's come and gone today
I wasted all this fear
How can I just turn and wash it away
If I can then I will wash it away
If she can then she will wash it away
If I can then I will wash it away
If she can then she will wash it away

Forty years spent one by one
Forty years of life just slipping away
What I’d give for a firstborn son
Forty years of blood just washing away

I have waited wasted lives
I have waited long enough I’d say
Say what about, what about, what about, what about
How can I just turn and wash it away
If I can then I will wash it away
If she can then she will was it away
If I can then I will wash it away
If she can then she will was it away

So send me an angel
Send me the ghost that I was
Just send me an angel
Send me the ghost that I was
That I was, that I am. I will wash it away
She will wash it away
I will wash it away if I can then I will, I will and I will
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey yeah, yeah. If I can then I will wash it away

Haven't heard this song in probably 10 years.... I thought it was incredibly underrated. Still one of my favorite from the decade.

[jokerjoe1919]

the 90s went way to fast!

[mqywaaah]

here's to bringing back the 90's! Cheers!

[catjamie1]

[RasputinsVision]

Thanks for posting,,can't find my cd and in the process to cover this one!!!

[badboogerfinger]

[artav02]

Wow totally underrated. I listened to them in the late 90's. Beautiful music!!! Better than most of the junk thats out now.

[slavaszyarabia]

always loved this one yessss...i remember it just came and went just like the 90's

[templeofice]

Did Black Lab ever make an official video for this? I can't find it on YouTube. Nevertheless. this is the greatest "one hit wonder" ever, in my opinion. And I hate to call them a one hit wonder because they are a great band. But this song never gets old.

[Kooniah22]

Great song, glad to know I'm not the only one to miss 90's songs. Creativity at its best...

[catjamie1]

They have another good track, "cant keep the rain".. This is a very telling tune. Can apply to many problems. good stuff.

[stigmatron]

Thanks for putting this up!

I remember this song from when I wore a younger man's skin.

35 yrs now must've been all of 22 or 23 when this song was playing,

The 90's produced some real creativity in music terms,takes me back,

thanks,thanks.
