[Verse 1]
Home was all we'd known
Fathers feeling, careless heals
Friend, I called you friend
Oh but life was simple then
[Verse 2]
We grew to disagree
Took your portion and packed your things
And hell, you're freedom high
Above health and wealth and life itself
[Chorus]
Remember us out on the frozen pond?
I held you up, you were the frightened one
[Verse 3]
For years the rumours grew
Of a brother returning soon
[Chorus]
I was wrong yesterday
Oh, I was wrong yesterday
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
Come wash my war paint away
