And so your love sits down next to you
And her body is cold and her lips are blue
And this is our feeling
That she was always warm to you
She the one, you're always singing to

Oh, wash away, wash away
The sound of all these sad days
The sound of the wind blowing
And say we'll be here always
And this is all I'm hopin' for
When she left, she didn't close the door

And you're a fool to wait for your lucky break
Ah, all that talkin' right
Without your hands on life and now
Oh yeah, they say he's high

But it's time to move now, come on
And wash away, wash away
The sound of all these sad days
The sound of not knowing
Say we'll be here always
And this is all I'm hopin' for
When she left ,she didn't close the door

Oh, and sister you were never this before
Oh, your eyes are red and your hands are so sore
And you and me once washed away the pain
But now we're so long distance in so many call ways

Wash away, wash away
The sound of all these sad days
The sound of the wind blowing
And say you'll be here always
And this is all I'm hopin' for
But it's what I'm waiting for

And on any day like today I can say
I wanna be in Galway, I wanna be in '97
I wanna wash away
All these things crowd at my door
And I wanna be in the river
I wanna be in the sea

Wash away, wash away
The sound of all these sad days
The sound of the wind blowing
And say we'll be here

Wash away, wash away
The sound of all these sad days
The sound of the wind blowing
And say we'll be here

Wash away, wash away
The sound of all these sad days
The sound of the wind blowing
And say we'll be here always

Wash away, wash away
The sound of all these sad days
The sound of the wind blowing
And say we'll be here always

    this song is so incredible. i dont think JCB is overrated, becuase its great too, but i think that people need to discover other nizlopi songs.

    this is one of the great ones.

    basically, this song is about trying to get away from the bad things

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
