Soap and water take the day from my hand scrub the salt from my stinging skin slip me loose of this wedding band <♪> Soap and water hang my heart on the line scour it down in a wind of sand bleach it clean to a vinegar shine Daddy's a dark riddle Mama's a headful of bees you are my little kite carried away in the wayward breeze <♪> Soap and water wash the year from my life straighten all that we trampled and tore heal the cut we call husband and wife Daddy's a dark riddle Mama's a handful of thorns you are my little kite caught up again in the household storms Daddy's a dark riddle Mama's a headful of bees you are my little kite carried away in the wayward breeze
