Flows away (4)

I believe the answer is:

ebbs

'flows away' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ebbs that I've seen before include "Subsides" , "fades away" , "Flows back - declines" , "Wanes" , "Declines gradually" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Wall Street Journal, the Universal and the Newsday.
