Daniel Cochran - There Was No Snake lyrics

There was no snake. There was no dragon Just things that happened one after another No clouds confess or leaves reveal There was no snake that took her away from you There was no snake. There's no Peg Powler Just a river that he was dragged under Tell every father of every daughter There was no snake There was no huldra We dressed their skeletons and made them dance Gave grace and spite to a ball of gas The cold earth can't care if you wither Or how many skinny children you bury inside it There was no snake. There was no dragon Just men who found the quicker way Tell every mother of every son There was no snake. There was no dragon We dressed their skeletons and made them dance Gave grace and spite to a ball of gas The cold earth can't care if you wither Or how many skinny children you bury inside it When things that happened, happened to us When he was gone and we had nothing When in our heads and hands that joined When in the eyes that fellow eyes avoid It's plain as day, there's no avoiding You cannot hide the truth in words There was a snake There was a dragon We saw its teeth. We did, we did The dark is full, the clouds form signs The accidents are all designed He had a meaning. He'll never fade Look closely you can see the stars are spelling out his name Oh you're no fool So tell me honestly You saw the same? You saw the same?
