"The Shannon's Home" lyrics

Wide and silent I do flow
Through the meanders of old
Passing meadows
Hidden shadows
Laden with their woe

Gone is the force of waters wild
Bringing nature's newborn child
Open reaches
Gentle ripples
Carrying me slow

Take me home, take me home to the golden fields
Take me down to the river with the fallen leaves
Take me home, all the way so were always gonna stay
A part of the woven story

Quiet little whispers guide me on
Through the streams of what's begun
Drifting, floating
Echoes fading
Bearing all I've ever known

Lost are the songs I used to sing
They are drifting on the wind
Oceans calling
I am going
Where all rivers end

Taking me back where I will meet my origin
Bringing me back to where it all began
All of you watching how the sun sets, knowing
You will too have to come

Take me home, take me home to the golden fields
Take me down to the river with the fallen leaves
Take me home, all the way so were always gonna stay
A part of the woven story

Take me home, take me home to the golden fields
Take me down to the river with the fallen leaves
Take me home, all the way so were always gonna stay
A part of the woven story

Words unspoken
Underneath
Mee lick Rapids' thundering tides
Peace is broken
Torn from sheath
Wounded silence twists and denies

All that's been floating down the stream
All the waters come into the light
Soon they sing of the bliss they bring
When once we find life

Take me home

Take me home, take me home to the golden fields
Take me down to the river with the fallen leaves
Take me home, all the way so were always gonna stay
A part of the woven story

Take me home, take me home to the golden fields
Take me down to the river with the fallen leaves
Take me home, all the way so were always gonna stay
A part of the woven tale

Take me home
Come carry on
Been such a long way
But it's always leading home

Take me home
Come carry on
Been such a long way
But I know we'll all be coming home
