River Shannon

Oh Shannon

I might be dreamin'

The stars fell down on the factory

The cathedrals repeating, the light receding

Bells on another day



Have you ever seen my face

Fast asleep and dreamin'?



Oh Shannon

The lightnin' fell

There's an army down by the riverside

But I might be dreamin'

I can see that you don't believe me

And I might be dreamin'



If I dip into your water

Fall through my reflection

I will shadow myself anyway



Have you ever seen my face

Fast asleep and dreamin'?

And it don't seem right

That I don't get no sleep at night

What's the river gonna know about leavin'?



Oh Shannon

The soldiers are comin'

The guns are drummin' the night away

Rain, rain go away

Come again some other day

When I got time for believin'



Have you ever seen my face

Fast asleep and dreamin'?

Yeah! What is there left to believe in?!



Oh Shannon

I might be dreamin'

I might be wastin' my life away

listenin' to you

Down on under the streetlight

You shudder and beat

The edge of the waterway



And I know if I had time

I might dive in your water

Lie right down in the evening rain

I just want this pain, pain to go away

Come again some other day

When I got time for bleedin'



Have you ever seen my face

Fast asleep and dreamin'?

And it don't seem right that I don't get no sleep at night

What's the river gonna know about leavin'?



Oh Shannon

I might be dreamin'
