Counting Crows - River Shannon Lyrics
Oh ShannonI might be dreaming'The stars fell down on the factoryThe cathedrals repeating, the light recedingBells on another dayHave you ever seen my faceFast asleep and dreaming'?Oh ShannonThe lightning' fellThere's an army down by the riversideBut I might be dreaming'I can see that you don't believe meAnd I might be dreaming'If I dip into your waterFall through my reflectionI will shadow myself anywayHave you ever seen my faceFast asleep and dreaming'?And it don't seem rightThat I don't get no sleep at nightWhat's the river gonna know about leaving'?Oh ShannonThe soldiers are coming'The guns are drumming' the night awayRain, rain go awayCome again some other dayWhen I got time for believing'Have you ever seen my faceFast asleep and dreaming'?Yeah! What is there left to believe in?!Oh ShannonI might be dreaming'I might be wasting' my life awaylistening' to youDown on under the streetlightYou shudder and beatThe edge of the waterwayAnd I know if I had timeI might dive in your waterLie right down in the evening rainI just want this pain, pain to go awayCome again some other dayWhen I got time for bleeding'Have you ever seen my faceFast asleep and dreaming'?And it don't seem right that I don't get no sleep at nightWhat's the river gonna know about leaving'?Oh ShannonI might be dreaming
