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 again
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 cryin'
At all the she was as she watches it fade
