Washed to the Sea

Washed to the Sea - Mark Heard/The Boones

I knew a man who thanked god for the good things

His mind made clear by his terminal disease

And he wept for those who did not understand him

But his tears will be washed to the sea yeoo

There is a woman lives in midtown manhattan

And the lines in her face seem to speak

She forgives all the loved ones who put them there

And her tears will be washed to the sea

Yeaaa yaa

I'm not a man you might call optimistic

Sometimes it pains me to see what I see

But truth is a river that is sober and slow

And tears will be washed to the sea

And tears will be washed to the sea

Ahhh ohhh

And tears will be washed to the sea

And tears will be washed to the sea

To the sea
