Here come chilly preacher Stumbling ‘gainst the wind Singing love, love is something to believe in A prayer and the sea And twenty tons of me Crying love, love is something to believe in
To my child of wonder rambling All my crooked fingers pointing blame Let it all wash out in the rain Yes let it all wash out in the rain
Beyond the drunken focus of my aim All my heroes twisting in the flame Let’s let it all wash out in the rain Let it all wash out in the rain
One more for forgiveness Twisting in the cold Singing love, love is something I believe in Too much my defenses Are dangling from the chain Oh but free, free is something to believe in
To my god I want my gypsy train Too my child a howlin’ tambourine Let it all wash out in the rain Let it all wash out in the rain Yes let it all wash out in the rain Let it all wash out in the rain
