Seems to leave the pain that I've been asking for
Wash me in the water, take it all away
Wash me in the water, take away this pain
Wash me in the water, wash me of it all
Wash me in the water, before I fall

To take you, honey, and break you down again
Wash me in the water, take it all away
Wash me in the water, take away this pain
Wash me in the water, wash me of it all
Wash me in the water, before I fall
Now these days have passed me by. Ain't it all the same?
Now all these days are passin' me by now I'm just standin' just the same

Wash me in the water, take it all away
Wash me in the water, take away this pain
Wash me in the water, wash me of it all
Wash me in the water, before I fall
Wash me in the water, take it all away
Wash me in the water, before I fall
Wash me in the water, wash me of it all
Wash me in the water, before I fall
Well if I had it my way, Lord if I had it any way
