River Shannon Lyrics

River Shannon lyrics

Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming'
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 dreaming'?
Oh Shannon 
The lightning' fell
There's an army down by the riverside
But I might be dreaming'
I can see that you don't believe me
And I might be dreaming'
If I dip into your water 
Fall through my reflection 
I will shadow myself anyway
Have you ever seen my face 
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right
That I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon 
The soldiers are coming'
The guns are drumming' the night away
Rain, rain go away 
Come again some other day
When I got time for believing'
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
Yeah! What is there left to believe in?!
Oh Shannon 
I might be dreaming' 
I might be wasting' my life away
listening' 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 bleeding'
Have you ever seen my face 
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right that I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon 
I might be dreaming'
