Counting Crows - River Shannon Lyrics

River Shannon

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 going to 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 going to know about leaving?

Oh Shannon, I might be dreaming
