Snake Eyes
MUMFORD & SONS · Wilder Mind 2015 · Track 07 of 12
Written by Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane, Winston Marshall
You hold it, in your hands And let it flow, this cruelty Of youth as you fall again Alone, In the compromise of truth
It's in the eyes I can tell, you will always be danger We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?
And the stakes remain too high For this silent mind And the shake, the lonely itch That courses down my spine To leave a love divine Don't leave a love divine It's a water tight excuse
It's in the eyes I can tell, you will always be danger We had it tonight, why do we always seek absolution? It's in the eyes I can tell you will always be danger
How does the earth around your feet Just slip away? And abandon, that greets you in the night With snake eyes, the most precious kind
It's in the eyes! I can tell, you will always be danger! We had it tonight! Why do we always seek absolution? It's in the eyes! I can tell you will always be danger!
