A Clean Break
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away
Even now we remember what we used to say
Takes a minute to wash that love away
Take a clean break: wash that love away
Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'll be together if we wash that love away
What's tha matter ?
Have to clean up ?
That's true
That's true
And it's taken
To extreme extent
That's why we
Work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
