Here come chilly preacher 
 Stumbling 'gainst the wind 
 Singing love, love is something to believe in 
 A prayer and the sea 
 And twenty tons of me 
 Crying love, love is something to believe in 
    To my child of wonder rambling 
 All my crooked fingers pointing blame 
 Let it all wash out in the rain 
 Yes let it all wash out in the rain   
 Beyond the drunken focus of my aim 
 All my heroes twisting in the flame 
 Let's let it all wash out in the rain 
 Let it all wash out in the rain   
 One more for forgiveness 
 Twisting in the cold 
 Singing love, love is something I believe in 
 Too much my defenses 
 Are dangling from the chain 
 Oh, but free, free is something to believe in   
 To my God I want my gypsy train 
 Too my child a howlin' tambourine 
 Let it all wash out in the rain 
 Let it all wash out in the rain 
 Yes let it all wash out in the rain 
 Let it all wash out in the rain
