| [00:12.71] | another day's at end |
| [00:18.55] | mama says she's tired again |
| [00:24.71] | no one can even begin to tell her |
| [00:31.14] | |
| [00:36.01] | i hardly know what to say |
| [00:42.05] | but maybe it's better that way |
| [00:47.73] | if poppa were here i'm sure he'd tell her |
| [00:55.44] | |
| [02:31.96][00:59.56] | shannon is gone i heard |
| [02:35.84][01:03.52] | she's drifting out to sea |
| [02:43.44][01:11.07] | she always loved to swim away |
| [02:50.68][01:18.46] | ah.... |
| [02:54.97][01:22.83] | maybe she'll find an island |
| [02:59.23][01:27.13] | with a shaded tree |
| [03:17.92][03:06.22][01:34.38] | just like the one in our backyard |
| [03:31.69][03:12.85][01:40.92] | ah... |
| [03:57.08][01:44.41] | |
| [01:46.05] | mama tries hard to pretend |
| [01:51.77] | that things will get better again |
| [01:57.46] | somehow she's keepin' it all inside her |
| [02:04.68] | |
| [02:08.89] | but finally the tears fill our eyes |
| [02:14.83] | and i know that somewhere tonight |
| [02:20.43] | she knows how much we really miss her |
| [02:27.47] | |
