Wash Me Down

Last Friday they had a masquerade

Everyone was there

All decked out in stars and silver

The moonlight in their hair

Darkness fell down around us

We were lost in the mystery

Left our clothes by the side of the road

And jumped into the sea

Wash me down

Wash me down

Take me away from the beatin' drums

Let the great world go by

Wash me down

Wash me down

And when you go

Well, I will never forget

I heard a rumor 'bout a miracle

In a town by the Buffalo Leap

People came from miles around

To watch the statue weep

They filled the square with their caravans

Cameras lit up the trees

Every time a light went off

They fell down to their knees

Wash me down

Oh, wash me down

Take me away from the beatin' drums

Let the great world go by

Wash me down

Wash me down

And when you go

I will never forget

I swear I've seen your face before

Somewhere when I was young

You make me feel the miles I've walked

The things I've left undone

Come here and lay beside me

One more hour, that's all

When you leave I'll close the door

Maybe then I'll fall

Wash me down

Wash me down

Take me away from the burning sun

Let the great world go by

Wash me down

Wash me down

And when you go

Well, I will never forget

And when you go

Well, I will never forget
