Wash Me Down

Last Friday they had a masquerade
Everyone was there
All decked out in stars and silver
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 beating drums
Let the great world go by
Wash me down
Wash me down
And when you go
I will never forget

I heard a rumour ‘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
Wash me down
Take me away from the beating 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
I will never forget
And when you go
I will never forget
