wash me clean

a mountain of regret, a valley miles away, a life lived in the clouds, a wasted yesterday, a hilltop made of blunders, a wish cast like a stone, a bark as loud as thunder, a dog without a bone, wash me clean, wash me clean, wash away my wants and needs, wash me clean, wash me clean, won't you pour water on this seed?, a shameful flood of tears on a salty whiskered cheek, a dusty photo album, a lonely mountain peak, a youth of wishful thinking, a childhood gone astray, a hilltop slowly sinking, a boy's hair turning gray, wash me clean.
