Wash'd Away by Time

The Lovers’ kiss and first embrace, The discover’d Joy upon each face... --Wash’d away by Time. Baby’s smile and premier word, Leading to the lies absurd... --Wash’d away by Time. Grief and pain—the scars remain, The tears that sting the soul insane... --Wash’d away by Time. Where is the son, the shining One? Once upon a life, undone... --Wash’d away by Time. And all the Fear and all the Hope, Burning up in fog of dope... --Wash’d away by Time. Far and near, all we hold dear, By-and-by will disappear... --Wash’d away by Time.
