Soap and Water
Soap and water
wash the day from my hand
scrub the salt from my stinging skin
slip me loose of this wedding band
Soap and water
hang my heart on a line
scour it down in a wind of sand
bleach it clean to a vinegar shine
Daddy's a dark riddle
Mama's a headful of bees
you are my little kite
carried away in a wayward breeze
Soap and water
take the year from my life
Straighten all that we trampled and tore
heal the cut we called husband and wife
Daddy's a dark riddle
Mama's a handful of thorns
you are my little kite
caught up again in the household storms
Daddy's a dark riddle
Mama's a headful of bees
you are my little kite
carried away in the wayward breezeI'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
Hear no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I found a love I had lost
It had been gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change
Don't change
