Washes Away

I can laugh at this dream

And if I drown I'll wake in the morning

This is liquid love in a plastic cup

And if it leaks we can plug it right back up

Pain is a rain that washes away

I'm a fabric you can't stain

To make light of you is all that I have

So understand me if I laugh

You were sleeping and your eyes

They were gone for a while

You were screaming

And I searched for the lines of your smile

This is peace and I know

'Cause I'm too tired to cry

I'll never get close to you

And I'm just too distracted to try

Pain is a rain that washes away

I'm a fabric you can't stain

To fall into this is not what I want

So understand me if I don't

Love is a glove that just doesn't fit

No matter how you pull at it

To make light of you is all that I have

So understand me if I laugh

It is late I won't ask you to stay or to stroke

I have never gotten warm from you huddling close

If you danced I might take you right up in my arms

But you don't so I whisper this is all

This is all

All
