And let it wash away, wash away You tore the floorboards up And let the river rush in Not wash away, wash away We were reaching in the dark That summer in New York But it didn't hurt at all That summer in New York (wash away) And was it so far to fall?

I'll take care of you I've loved and I've lost I know you've been hurt by someone else I can tell by the way you carry yourself If you let me, here's what I'll do I've asked about you and they've told me things But my mind didn't change I still the feel

I couldn't believe what I was seeing Faces all screwed up like what I'd done I didn't mean to hurt you so much I knew it would hurt you but not like this We all make a mess from time to time, dear But it'll take me a lifetime to get this cleared Somebody

I ain't no angel, I never was But I never hurt you, it's not my fault You see those egg shells, they're broken up A million pieces, strewn out across the ground Remember once the things you told me And how the tears ran from my eyes They didn't fall
