SUZANNE VEGA lyrics : "Soap And Water"

Soap and water
take 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 the 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 the wayward breeze


Soap and water
wash the year from my life
straighten all that we trampled and tore

heal the cut we call 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 breeze
