River Shannon - Lyrics by Counting Crows


Lyrics
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 on 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'
