Shannon - Billy Raffoul

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

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?

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

Abandoned, I can’t imagine how your love has been tried

But Shannon, my sweet Shannon when I look into those eyes I see

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

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
