Whitewashed Songtext
von Lilium

Kiss a velvet doll
Strung high on the wall
Oak and pine
Mahogany man
Eyes of mercy those eyes are thine
Look for the better
Angels of our nature
We look in vain
Speak truth cost as it may
Ever seek and narrow a way
Ever weak however strong
They are most beautiful
Before they′re gone
Before they're gone
I′m whitewashed
Given foothold and given license
You snuck in here on a folk song
Try yourself
Do something
Rise from the ground as a flower


Proved to be
Be found to be
What does the Lord require?
To do justly, to love mercy
To walk humbly on his ground
He does set straight
With his glance
Guilt washed down in weeping
Don't come around my dreams no more
With a fistful of stick
Come in the smile of Elijah
He's the Lord and healer of the sick
Les absents ont toujours tort
Les absents ont toujours tort
I′m whitewashed
Given foothold and given license
I snuck in here on a folk song
Try yourself
Do something
Rise from the ground as a flower
Proved to be
Be found to be
