Well I wish I'd never said
The things I did the morning after
You had shared yourself with me
In so many ways
Now [?]
In my mind [?] laughter
To see you now and then
[?]
And I want to wipe it off
Now I want to wipe it off
I want to wipe it off
And get a clean slate
Everyone I loved was ill
In their mind or in their body
And I knew not how to heal
The things that weighed
And every one of my attempts
Has only led me to a folly
And the comfort of this hold on me persuades
[Chorus x2]
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 a little gloom
I don't want to wipe it off
No, don't want to wipe it off
Want to wipe it off
And get a clean slate
I want to wipe it off
Now you want to wipe it off
No need to wipe it off
Got a clean, clean slate
