Shenandoah

Oh, Shenandoah
Leaves are coming back again
As vibrance returns, your energy grows

When will you go leave behind the shadows of your yesterday?
It takes one to be bold
Two to get comfortable

The valley blooms in the rays
But simply survives the dark of the night
Steadfast, unwavering strength
As if there's a choice to be made

Oh, Shenandoah
It seems I'm headed north again
But I'll listen in the night
To hear your lonesome cries

Don't lose your glow
Though I doubt you'll ever let it burn away
Cause, this was your home long before mine

The valley blooms in the rays
But simply survives the dark of the night
Steadfast, unwavering strength
As if there's a choice to be made

But deep in her heart there are eyes
That sit atop the canopy looking down and cryin'
At all the she was as she watches it fade
