Shannon
Another day is at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her
Shannon is gone, I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Ah
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Ah
Mama tries hard to pretend
Things will get better again
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her
Finally the tears fill our eyes
I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her
Shannon is gone, I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Ah
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Ah
Just like the one in our backyard
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her
Shannon is gone, I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Ah
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Ah
Mama tries hard to pretend
Things will get better again
Somehow she's keeping it all inside her
Finally the tears fill our eyes
I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her
Shannon is gone, I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Ah
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Ah
Just like the one in our backyard
