Wash Away (Live Stages Version) - Vertical Horizon



An old man lying by the road

Black as night

He's got his finger on the trigger

An easy target in sight

He's got no future, no family tree

He's got a three dollar bottle

And he drinks 'til he can't see

All night, all night...



A young girl waiting on a line

Eight a.m., she's got a six month old burden

Willpower's withering thin

An unwed mother beaten by her trade

Each week her welfare reminds her

Of mistakes she never made

Oh no...



Now what has that to say about tomorrow

What has that to show for today

Noah thought to build an ark

Before the heavens washed it all away

Away...



A baby crying through a dream

An afterthought

Mother is seething for pleasure

After the poison is bought

His eyes are tainted, staggered is his breath

Oh God, he's addicted

Addicted to death

Oh,no...



sooo, now

what has that to say about tomorrow

What has that to show for today, yeah yeah yeah

Noah thought to build an ark

Before the heavens washed it all away

Away...



(vocal interlude of keith kane and matt scannell)



Keith:

Two by two they enter now,

Don't you think you'll wonder how?

Can't you see he wants you there?

Take you by your golden hair. (6x)

Matt:

I know things will change

I know things get better (2x)

If I call out to you, would you lend me your hand?

Would you save me from all that I might have been? (2x)

Keith:

The devil came upon me, he found me on my knees.

Said,
