Let it run, let it sink
Let it soak, hope it floats
If it sinks I’ll sing
If it floats…
Find me a boat by dawn
Through my hands let it run
The memory of sins I need to drown
To the depths let it sink
For I need to forget where I failed
If it sinks I’ll breathe relief
If it floats which boat cometh to rescue me
Washing away yesterday
Washing away its sins
Wash and lie till its new
If it’s new and washed
Who will know but me,
Washing away yesterday’s sins
