Song to Shannon

Shannon, oh Shannon,
you command like a cannon.
You shine bright on Winterwood,
you live as you would
have it.
You've never quit.

On a night like this,
you're just full of bliss,
when you feel the evening kiss,
you see him, it's hit-or-miss,
while you hear the gator hiss,
on a night like this.

Very soon,
after you drop your silver spoon,
after the balloon,
goes high at break of noon,
when crescently rises the Moon,
you'll no longer be one person crying!

Shannon, oh Shannon,
you command like a cannon.
You shine bright on Winterwood,
you live as you would
have it.
You've never quit.
