River Shannon

Counting Crows


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?
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?
And it don't seem right
That I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving?
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?
Oh Shannon 
I might be dreaming 
I might be wasting my life away
listening to you 
Down 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 gonna know about leaving?
Oh Shannon 
I might be dreaming
