River Shannon - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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
