Shannon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Abandoned, I can't imagine how your love has been tried But Shannon, my sweet Shannon when I look into those eyes I see [Chorus] 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 [Ending] 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
