Shannon & The Clams
Snakes Crawl
[Verse 1]
Snakes crawl along the banks
Of the river where I swim to you
Leaves float on the surface
Of the river where our skin turned blue

[Verse 2]
Fish no more bite our twenty toes
In the river where I loved you, too
Snails go along the bottom
Cleaning the bones I once knew

[Chorus]
And the path we set was always fit
To the will of the water, I knew
And the maps we read werе never tread
Only drawn by thе lines in the past

[Verse 3]
The sun, too, grows old
And the night is damp and cold
Still, I lay on the banks
So rose a gaping hole

[Chorus]
And the path we set was always fit
To the will of the water, I knew
And the traps we set were always fit
On us as the road circled back
