Shenandoah

Oh, Shenandoah

Leaves are coming back again

As vibrance returns, your energy grows

When will you go

Leave behind the shadows of your yesterday?

It takes one to be bold, two to get comfortable

The valley blooms in the rays

But simply survives the dark of the night

Steadfast, unwavering strength

As if there's a choice to be made

Oh, Shenandoah

It seems I'm headed north aggain

But I'll listen in the night to hear your lonesome cries

Don't lose your glow

Though I doubt you'll ever let it burn away

'Cause this was your home long before mine

The valley blooms in the rays

But simply survives the dark of the night

Steadfast, unwavering strength

As if there's a choice to be made

But deep in her heart, there are eyes

That sit atop the canopy looking down and crying

At all that she was, she watches it fade
