Gross henry shannon lyrics

'Shannon" by Henry Gross. From the LP 'Release' (Lifesong PZ34995, 1976)

 

 

 Another day is 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 than way

 Is papa were here

 I'm sure he'd tell he

 

 Shannon is gone

 I hope she's drifting out to sea

 She always ;pved to swim away

 Maybe she'll find an island

 With a shady tree

 Just like the one in our backyard

 

 Mama tried hard to pretend

 Tings will get better again

 Somehow she's keeping

 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

 

 [repeat chorus]

 

 >I seem to remember thinking that the song was somehow about a dog 

 >named shannon.  I do remember that this song seemed to make me want to

 >burst out crying each time I heard parts of it.  Any help or lyrics 

 >would be very much appreciated.

 

 Shannon is Henry's dog. The credits say "Special thanks to Ronnie DeMarino,

 Sue and Ralph Mastruzzo for loving Shannon while we were gone".
