Story Behind the Song
This song took a little while to put together. It represents a true collabrative effort between all members of the band. This was one of the first songs we recorded for this album. It was being recorded as a demo but we spent so much time on it that it became the record. Hope you enjoy it!
Lyrics
Snails
only time can tell the tale
said the rabbit to the snail
you’re always making changes, for the worse...
I’ll kiss your cheek then release the curse
Only time can tell the tale.
of just what’s to come, and who will prevail
You’re watching the clock, but the hours seem to slip away.
You’re wasting your life, counting up the days
So here we sit beneath this flowering tree
I try to talk to you, but you simply ignore me
It just takes a second to stop and smell the blossoms
You’re to preoccupied with your own problems
Only time can tell the tale.
of just what’s to come, and who will prevail
You’re watching the clock, but the hours seem to slip away.
You’re wasting your life, counting up the days
Take my hand
and walk along the shore
don’t you understand?
don’t you understand?
Only time can tell the tale.
of just what’s to come, and who will prevail
You’re watching the clock, but the hours seem to slip away.
You’re wasting your life, counting up the days
counting up the days...
the days...
