Anxious nights give way to daylight

She don't cry and she don't complain

To honor, cherish, protect and keep you

She took your problems and took your name

All she wants to do is stroll down the island

She don't care if there's wind or there's rain

Only a women of her stature

Could shield you from the venom of this town's disdain



And she'll wait by your side

She'll never let you out of her sight

And she'll wait by your side,

You're the one thing that matters in her life



As she waits patiently by the window

She knows you'll be coming home soon

She'll sit quiet there and won't go

Her dedication can't be moved

She hears the echoes marching down "A" street

Like footsteps on the cobblestone

A pace to heavy to be her master

They pass her by and she's still alone



And she'll wait by your side

She'll never let you out of her sight

And she'll wait by your side,

You're the one thing that matters in her life



[Chorus:]

Shannon I'm coming home

[x2]



She hears the echoes marching down "A" street

Like footsteps on the cobblestone

A pace to heavy to be her master

They pass her by and she's still alone



And she'll wait by your side

She'll never let you out of her sight

And she'll wait by your side,

You're the one thing that matters in her life



[Chorus:]

Shannon I'm coming home

[x2]



[Chorus:]

Shannon I'm coming home
