I want to live
where (F)soul meets bod y
and let the sun
wrap it’s arms
a round me.
And bathe my skin in wat er cool
and cleans ing and feel,
feel what it’s like to be new.
’Cause in my head
there’s a Grey
hound sta tion
where I send my thoughts
to far off des ti na tions so (Dm)they may have a chance
of find in’ a place where they’re far more suit ed than here.

can wash one an oth er’s and not one speck will re main.
