about

This song serves as a warning, a reminder that all the good advice and best intentions from others cannot fix your problems. You have to make your own changes in life.

lyrics

And the sky turns green & black,
And the rain comes wailing down.
An augury from the sky.

But you walk along in peace
Bathing in the water
'Til the clouds go rolling by.

You can't hide the things you've done
Or throw your memories away.
All the holy water in the world
Won't wash your sins away.

And the truth will all fall down
Like a toppling domino
At the end of a chain.

Where will you turn for support
Amidst the acrimony
Of the way that you've behaved?

You can't hide the things you've done
Or throw your memories away.
All the holy water in the world
Won't wash your sins away.

In the solitude you stand
In the timber by the river,
Drowning in the storm.

Yet there is no communion,
No final savior's blessing
Since you have no sorry or remorse.

You can't hide the things you've done
Or throw your memories away.
All the holy water in the world
Won't wash your sins away. No.
Wash your sins away.
