Shannon

another day's at end

mama says she's tired again

no one can even begin to tell her

i hardly know what to say

but maybe it's better that way

if poppa were here i'm sure he'd tell her

[00:59.56]shannon is gone i heard

[01:03.52]she's drifting out to sea

[01:11.07]she always loved to swim away

[01:18.46]ah....

[01:22.83]maybe she'll find an island

[01:27.13]with a shaded tree

[03:06.22][01:34.38]just like the one in our backyard

[03:12.85][01:40.92]ah...

[01:44.41]

mama tries hard to pretend

that things will get better again

somehow she's keepin' it all inside her

but finally the tears fill our eyes

and i know that somewhere tonight

she knows how much we really miss her
