Washing By Hand Lyrics

Jackie Leven Washing By Hand

Got my clothes in the sink
Today  I'm washing by hand
Good  morning grey sky
And there's snow in the land
And there's snow in the land
And  there's snow in the land

I'm  looking out my window
This is how memory works
I  see a woman walking
On the winter shoreline
I see the hardship in her hands

And in my boyhood eye I see
Women  washing in the street
Wringing out freezing clothes
Cold wind whipping round their feet

And I still love them, love them
Like I did then
Love them, love them
Like I did then

I hear them calling in my mind
Calling icy kingdom women
On a rainy day rainy day rainy day rainy day
Calling in my mind

And I still love them, love them
Like I did then
Love them, love them
Like I did then

Got my clothes in the sink
Today I'm washing by hand
Good morning grey sky
And there's snow in the land
And there's snow in the land
And there's snow in the land

And I still love them, love them
Like I did then
Love them, love them
Like I did then
