Amber Rubarth - Washing Day lyrics

rate me

Walking past my lover's house<br />

Bitter taste still in my mouth<br />

Too much whiskey, too much smoke<br />

Last night's tears hang on my coat<br />

But now the rain has stopped it's fall<br />

Streets shine like a mirror ball<br />

Sun comes on, it's just enough<br />

Watch the flower's waking up<br />

<br />

It's washing day<br />

It's washing day<br />

Colors run and they fade away<br />

It's washing day<br />

It's washing day<br />

Feel the threads like new again<br />

<br />

Big machines all in a row<br />

Mother with her child in tow<br />

Change old paper for silver coins<br />

Lose myself in all this noise<br />

Wake up from a peaceful rest<br />

Counting down, one minute left<br />

Cotton stops it's jog in place<br />

I hold it warm against my face<br />

<br />

It's washing day<br />

It's washing day<br />

Colors run and they fade away<br />

It's washing day<br />

It's washing day<br />

Feel the threads like new again<br />

<br />

What's this in my dungarees<br />

In my back pocket, curled and creased<br />

My old notebook, filled with you<br />

Our secrets now just streaks of blue<br />

It's all a mess, but beautiful<br />

This emptiness, a gift I hold<br />

I write a poem with you in mind<br />

And leave the memories behind<br />

I leave the memories behind<br />

<br />

It's washing day<br />

It's washing day<br />

Colors run and they fade away<br />

It's washing day<br />

It's washing day<br />

Feel the threads like new again<br />

Feel the threads like new again<br />

Feel the threads like new again</
