ian hunter – wash us away lyrics
on the very first decade that we got to dream in
our fathers were angry, our mothers were screamin’
at the clothes we were wearin’ and the music we got off on
hitler was dead, welcome to babylon
carved our initials out across the sand
the heart and the arrow, no-one understands
then the tide rolled in and everything ran
washed us away, washed us away, washed us away
up in the attic ambition was burning
now my fingers were bleedin’ but the tables were turning
down in the city the future was beckoning
and i hated myself on the day of reckoning, oh yeah
carved our initials on top of the cake
the heart and the arrow, the rattle and the snake
how was i to know that the earth was gonna break
and wash us away, wash us away, wash us away
everything’s temporary in this world
ain’t it a shame when you lose someone?
here tomorrow, gone today
wash us away, wash us away, wash us away
there was never a fool like a young fool alone in
a world without someone he can find a home in
and for all the wrong reasons we rescued each other
you bandaged my heart i never would recover, ohh
no river runs true, it always takes a twist
hearts can be broken, arrows gonna miss
how was i to know that it was gonna come down to this
and wash us away
and we wrote our names on the ‘dead sea scrolls’
the young and the restless, the brave and the bold
how was we to know it was gonna get outta control
and wash us away, wash us away, wash us away
wash us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away
