In town these days

Everyone I loved was ill
D G
In their mind or in their body

And I knew not how to heal

The things that weighed
[Verse 4]

And every one of my attempts

And the comfort of this hold on me persuades

I want to wipe it off

What a long time it has been

Since I sat to hear to the wind

See it come a whistling its little tunes

Now the memories of you

They can arise and fall again

I don't need them to remain in little rooms

I don't want to wipe it off

I don't want to wipe it off

Want to wipe it off

And get a clean slate

I want to wipe it off

Got a clean, clean, clean slate
