Whitewash Page #5

Synopsis: In the harsh, wintry woods of rural Quebec, Bruce (Thomas Haden Church), a down-on-his-luck snowplow operator, accidentally kills a man during a drunken night joyride. Stricken with panic, he hides the body and takes to the deep wilderness in hopes of outrunning both the authorities and his own conscience. But as both begin to close in, Bruce falls apart mentally and morally and mysteries unravel to reveal who he was before the accident, the truth behind his victim, and the circumstances that brought them together in a single moment.

[ Man ]

All I need

Is some sunshine

All I need

The siren called

Beyond the tree line

With another one for the caves

And in the tarn beyond those birches

There's a spirit that I crave

And from the island

People watched you

You set that Viking ship ablaze

We reached the moon falls

I see a cauldron

And found the spirit

That I crave

All I need

Is some sunshine

All I need

All I need

Is some sunshine

All I need

You've fallen barefoot

Past the tree line

Beaten, bone-eyed,

butchered, swayed

A thousand whitefish

Floating belly up

They're the spirit that I crave

And we threw ourselves right into it

Where lay the bodies had been claimed

We dove a third

A fourth, a fifth

Bane to the spirit that I crave

All I need

Is some sunshine

All I need

All I need

Is some sunshine

All I need

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing

Want a good thing
