Anxious nights give way to daylightnShe don't cry and she don't complainnTo honor, cherish, protect and keep younShe took your problems and took your namenAll she wants is a stroll down the islandnShe don't care if there's wind or there's rainnOnly a woman of her staturenCould shield you from the venom of this town's disdainnnAnd she'll wait by your sidenShe'll never let you out of her sightnAnd she'll wait by your sidenYou're the one thing that matters in her lifennAs she waits patiently by the windownShe knows you'll be coming home soonnShe'll sit quit there and won't gonHer dedication can't be movednShe hears the echoes marching down A streetnLike footsteps on the cobblestonenA pace to heavy to be her masternThey pass her by and she's still alonennAnd she'll wait by your sidenShe'll never let you out of her sightnAnd she'll wait by your sidenYou're the one thing that matters in her lifennChorus:nShannon I'm coming home nShannon I'm coming homennShe hears the echoes marching down A streetnLike footsteps on the cobblestonenA pace to heavy to be her masternThey pass her by and she's still alonenAnd she'll wait by your sidenShe'll never let you out of her sightnAnd she'll wait by your sidenYou're the one thing that matters in her lifennChorus x2n
