A thousand birds all black and gray
flew by my hotel room today
it looked like they were flying home
girl, it ain't good to be alone

Wash me with your tears
dry me with your hair
burn me with your kiss
soothe me with your stare
touch me with your voice
heal me with your heart
hold me in your mind
whenever we're apart
whenever we're apart

A thousand miles of land and sea
are trying to keep you away from me
your pictures blur, I don't know why
I guess some smoke caught in my eyes

Wash me with your tears
dry me with your hair
burn me with your kiss
soothe me with your stare
touch me with your voice
heal me with your heart
hold me in your mind
whenever we're apart
whenever we're apart

I'll be coming home soon
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'll be coming home soon
I'll be coming home to you

Wash me with your tears
dry me with your hair
burn me with your kiss
soothe me with your stare
touch me with your voice
heal me with your heart
hold me in your mind
whenever we're apart

Wash me with your tears
dry me with your hair
burn me with your kiss
soothe me with your stare
touch me with your voice
heal me with your heart
hold me in your mind
whenever we're apart
whenever we're apart

Oh, wash me with your tears
