| 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 |
