Shannon

Shannon, oh, sweet Shannon
Have you found what you were looking for yet?
Shannon, oh, sweet Shannon
Have you found what you were looking for in a man?
Well, I’d hate to hurt you so I fear that I must go away again
Keep your eyes on the shoreline and your feet dancing in the sand
Shattered, mostly shattered
Is your heart at the hands of men so cold?
And I wonder could you be any younger and bear the weight of the world?
Bright blue skies all the pretty lies they must’ve told
When you were young and so full of love
Dance with me the slow way as my father plays
I can sing your name
Abandoned, I can’t imagine how your love has been tried
But Shannon, my sweet Shannon when I look into those eyes I see
Bright blue skies all the pretty lies they must’ve told
When you were young and so full of love
Dance with me the slow way as my father plays
I can sing your name
Shannon, oh, sweet Shannon, we don’t have to retire
The wolves they can stand there and wait all night
We’re just gonna dance for a while
And bright blue skies all the pretty lies they must’ve told
When you were young you were so full of love
Dance with me the slow way as my father plays
I can sing your name
