Shannon Lyrics
Artist: Henry Gross
Shannon
Henry Gross
** FYI: Shannon is a dog **
Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If poppa were here I'm sure he'd tell her
Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her
But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her
Shannon is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
From: "David Hayman"

Henry Gross Lyrics
Comments/Interpretations
This was one of the soundtrack of your life songs for anyone growing up in the middle 1970's. Very sad today as it was then, Still a great song!
What was this song about.A dog or child
Loved that song as a kid, it was so sad, especially to a big animal lover like I was as a kid (and still am somewhat).
