River Shannon

[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

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

What's the river going to know about leaving?

[Verse 4]

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?!

[Verse 5]

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 going to know about leaving?

[Outro]

Oh Shannon, I might be dreaming
