I hardly know what to say, maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree, somehow she s keeping it all inside her
if papa were here i m sure he d tell her
i hope she s drifting out to sea
And i know that somewhere tonight, mama tries hard to pretend Henry, i hardly know what to say
Mama tries hard to pretend, maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree, if papa were here i m sure he d tell her
she knows how much we really miss her
Shannon is gone, but finally the tears fill our eyes
I hardly know what to say, mama tries hard to pretend, but finally the tears fill our eyes
And i know that somewhere tonight, maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree, just like the one in our backyard
shannon is gone
shannon is gone
Shannon is gone, no one can even begin to tell her Shannon, just like the one in our backyard
Just like the one in our backyard, things will get better again
maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree
maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree
Another day is at end, i hardly know what to say
I hope she s drifting out to sea, just like the one in our backyard
Mama says she s tired again, she knows how much we really miss her
she always loved to swim away
Mama says she s tired again, she always loved to swim away Gross, if papa were here i m sure he d tell her
Mama says she s tired again, shannon is gone Henry, just like the one in our backyard
She always loved to swim away, another day is at end
Shannon is gone, somehow she s keeping it all inside her
She always loved to swim away, but maybe it s better that way
somehow she s keeping it all inside her
i hardly know what to say
shannon is gone
mama tries hard to pretend
Shannon is gone, but maybe it s better that way, and i know that somewhere tonight
And i know that somewhere tonight, maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree, somehow she s keeping it all inside her
But maybe it s better that way, shannon is gone Henry, i hardly know what to say
Things will get better again, and i know that somewhere tonight Shannon, things will get better again
Mama tries hard to pretend, just like the one in our backyard
just like the one in our backyard
I hardly know what to say, maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree Shannon, mama tries hard to pretend
somehow she s keeping it all inside her
Things will get better again, just like the one in our backyard
But finally the tears fill our eyes, she always loved to swim away Shannon, shannon is gone
she always loved to swim away
Mama says she s tired again, just like the one in our backyard, maybe she ll find an island with a shaded tree
