Snake in the Grass

When you woke Across the sea The day before We first would meet Had you given a thought of me? Or who I'd be? Turn me over through endless seas And endless dreams Far from me to change A mountain built from waves Guarded by the storms And years of endless rain Passed, away through the reeds Toward home in the quiet of sleep Your boat touched the shore Did you think of me? And when she left It rained for days The flooded roads Well they split the lake And I'd given you all my love And all I've done In the weight of the winter's sway Well I watched you change I've been calling Dressed for the weather A rented coat And your father's house A passing bolt cut Straight to my heart you You lie in wait like a Snake in the grass Far from me to change A mountain built from waves Guarded by the storms And years of endless rain I guess I should have known You left my heart to roam
