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 HOPE SHE'S DRIFTING OUT TO SEA |
|
SHE ALWAYS LOVED TO SWIM AWAY |
|
MAYBE SHE'LL FIND AN ISLAND WITH A SHADY TREE |
|
JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD |
|
MAMA TRIES HARD TO PRETEND THINGS WILL GET |
|
BETTER AGAIN |
|
SOMEHOW SHE'S KEEPING IT ALL INSIDE HER |
|
BUT FINALLY THE TEARS FILL OUR EYES |
|
AND I KNOW THAT SOMEWHERE TONIGHT |
|
SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH WE REALLY MISS HER |
|
SHANNON IS GONE I HOPE SHE'S DRIFTING OUT TO SEA |
|
SHE ALWAYS LOVED TO SWIM AWAY |
|
MAYBE SHE'LL FIND AN ISLAND WITH A SHADY TREE |
|
JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD |
|
JUST LIKE THE ONE IN OUR BACKYARD |
