"Sionnan (Shannon)" lyrics

She's running wild, running free
He is crying out her name
He's catching all her dreams
As they're drifting astray
River, hold her in your faithful arms
As you sail her away toward the sea

Sionnan
Dances through the wind
Sionnan
How she curves and gently bends
I heard her singing
Did you hear her laugh again?
Sionnan

She waltzes with the moon
She rises with the sun
How she washes over him
And he says it feels like love
River, hold her in your faithful arms
As you sail her so far away from me

Sionnan
Dances through the wind
Sionnan
How she curves and gently bends
I heard her singing
Did you hear her laugh again?
Sionnan

He moves softly like the breeze
Below a veil of quiet rain
He feels her whisper passing by
Above her river grave

Sionann
Are you dancing with the wind?
Sionann
With your curves and gentle bends
He stands beside her
And he lets her water in
Sionann

Sionann, Sionann
River, carry him
