(The Man)
Shannon, oh Shannon is calling for me
In the waves and the water I trust, I believe
Shannon will shield me until they have gone
Silently carry me west toward my dawn

(The River)
Don't look now - you're free
Don't care how - just flee
Don't look back at all
Ignore the crack, the fall

PRECHORUS: (The Man)
Come let me follow you into the waves
My heart is so hollow, I know I'm not brave
All that I loved has been taken from me
And all that I can hope to be - alive, alone and free

CHORUS: (The River)
Oh - let it go
May the dust of your carriage blind the eyes of your foe
And oh - leave this place
So the sons of your daughters will smile up in your face

(The Man)
I dream of a life with no soldier, no gun
Birds sing a requiem now as I run
On this shore I am leaving my youth and my pride
And under the green earth my heart and my bride

(The River)
The rocks are steep - I know
And the water deep - so cold
You can tell your sons
How the west was won

PRECHORUS

CHORUS

CHORUS (The Man and The River)
