Soap And Water - Suzanne Vega (苏珊·薇格)

Soap and Water

Soap and water

Wash 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 a 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 a wayward breeze

Soap and water

Take the year from my life

Straighten all that we trampled and tore

Heal the cut we called 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
