Biting Your Tail Lyrics

Lyric discussion by letssailaway 

Cover art for Biting Your Tail lyrics by Iron & Wine

"May you know how the fight was started; won(?) as much for the snake as the garden."

perhaps "Know that peace is the shape of a circle"?

"Short hands on the clock still ticking,"

"See straight through the captain your kissing, the helm loose in his hand."

Beam's lyrics never disappoint.
