Lyrics:

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, your feet dancing in the sand
Shattered, mostly shattered
Is your heart at the hand 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
