| Anxious nights give way to daylight
|
| She don’t cry and she don’t complain
|
| To honor, cherish, protect and keep you
|
| She took your problems and took your name
|
| All she wants to do is stroll down the island
|
| She don’t care if there’s wind or there’s rain
|
| Only a women of her stature could shield you
|
| From the venom of this town’s disdain
|
| And she’ll wait by your side
|
| She’ll never let you out of her sight
|
| And she’ll wait by your side
|
| You’re the one thing that matters in her life
|
| As she waits patiently by the window
|
| She knows you’ll be coming home soon
|
| She’ll sit quiet there and won’t go
|
| Her dedication can’t be moved
|
| She hears the echoes marching down «A» street
|
| Like footsteps on the cobblestone
|
| A pace too heavy to be her master
|
| They pass her by and she’s still alone
|
| And she’ll wait by your side
|
| She’ll never let you out of her sight
|
| And she’ll wait by your side
|
| You’re the one thing that matters in her life
|
| Shannon I’m coming home!
|
| Shannon I’m coming home!
