Echoes On 'A.' Street - Dropkick Murphys

Anxious nights give way to daylight

She don’t cry and she don’t complain

To honor, cherish, protect and keep you

She took your problems and took your name

All she wants to do is stroll down the island

She don’t care if there’s wind or there’s rain

Only a women of her stature could shield you

From the venom of this town’s disdain

And she’ll wait by your side

She’ll never let you out of her sight

And she’ll wait by your side

You’re the one thing that matters in her life

As she waits patiently by the window

She knows you’ll be coming home soon

She’ll sit quiet there and won’t go

Her dedication can’t be moved

She hears the echoes marching down «A» street

Like footsteps on the cobblestone

A pace too heavy to be her master

They pass her by and she’s still alone

And she’ll wait by your side

She’ll never let you out of her sight

And she’ll wait by your side

You’re the one thing that matters in her life

Shannon I’m coming home!

Shannon I’m coming home!

She hears the echoes marching down «A» street

Like footsteps on the cobblestone

A pace too heavy to be her master

They pass her by and she’s still alone

And she’ll wait by your side

She’ll never let you out of her sight

And she’ll wait by your side

You’re the one thing that matters in her life

Shannon I’m coming home!

Shannon I’m coming home!

Shannon I’m coming home!
