Wash It All Away

(album: Flatlands - 1995)

Day by day
Seems like you drift away
Maybe it's just a phase
But it won't take a lot
To put out this fire we've got
What's left just don't seem so hot
It flickers and strains
Waits for the rain.

As it fades from a fire
To a dying flame,
And it looks like rain
See the clouds in the sky
They don't even seem to mind
It will die don't they know
Feel the wind begin to blow
Soon it will bring the rain
Wash it all away.

If I cover this flame
Safe from the pouring rain
I don't think it would change a thing
'Cause I just believe
It's got to have room to breath
So it occurs to me
I could lose either way
Here comes the rain.

As it fades from a fire
To a dying flame,
And it looks like rain
See the clouds in the sky
They don't even seem to mind
It will die don't they know
Feel the wind begin to blow
Soon it will bring the rain
Wash it all away.

Soon it will bring the rain
Wash it all away.
If you don't come back the rain
Will wash it all away...
