Lyrics

Tears They Wash Me Clean

Verse One:
Tears don’t make him want me
Tears don’t make him stay
Tears just make a river
So I can drift away

Verse Two:
Drifting on a feelin’
Drifting like a dream
Tears come like a guardian angel
Tears they wash me clean

Chorus:
I got lots a ways
To make it through the night
I got lots of ways…
To regain my fight
But where does all this lead?
And who do I wait for?
Is Daddy’s little girl
Still waitin’ by the door

Verse Three:
Tears become a habit
Then habit turns to fate
My soul’s cryin’ out for a vision
My destiny to recreate

Verse Four:
Cause Daddy’s very busy
Daddy’s gone away
And if I choose to keep on losin’
Then loss defines my days…

Chorus:
I got lots of ways
To make it through the night
I got lots of ways…
To regain my fight
But I don’t want to fight no more
I don’t want to pretend
Cause I hear a New Man callin’ me
On whom I can depend

Verse Five:
Now, I know who my Father is
I met him as the Son
He lights up my heart
So I’ll never be alone
And I’m driftin’ on this feelin’
Much more than a dream
Tears come like a guardian angel
Tears they wash me clean
