Bearded Clam

Intro

Mm-hmm

Mm

Verse 1

Down where the water kisses the sand

Lives a quiet little thing with a whiskered land

No one can say how the fur came to stay

It parts for the current in its own private way

Pre-Chorus

It shivers and settles patient and deep

The warmest small harbor the shoreline can keep

Chorus

Bearded clam soft under sand

Wearing that fringe like a quiet command

Bearded clam answering the swell

A hidden wet kingdom that knows how to dwell

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh soft and slow

Ooh-ooh let it go

Verse 2

Word of its flavor drifts coast after coast

When the water comes in it becomes the host

Curious fingers drift close just to feel

Then it closes again with a satisfied seal

Pre-Chorus

It shivers and settles patient and deep

The warmest small harbor the shoreline can keep

Chorus

Bearded clam soft under sand

Wearing that fringe like a quiet command

Bearded clam answering the swell

A hidden wet kingdom that knows how to dwell

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh soft and slow

Ooh-ooh let it go

Drop

Clam clam clam

Clam clam clam

Soft soft soft

Soft soft soft

Verse 3

Moonlight reveals what the daylight conceals

A delicate hinge that the ocean unseals

It softens and yields to the pull of the tide

Then gathers its secrets and draws them inside

Pre-Chorus

It shivers and settles patient and deep

The warmest small harbor the shoreline can keep

Chorus

Bearded clam soft under sand

Wearing that fringe like a quiet command

Bearded clam answering the swell

A hidden wet kingdom that knows how to dwell

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh soft and slow

Ooh-ooh let it go

Bridge

Who gifted the beard

The sea never tells

It simply decided

It suited her wells

Final Chorus

Bearded clam soft under sand

Quietest legend along the whole strand

Bearded clam slip out of sight

Fold up that fringe as the tide says goodnight
