Hello bad dream of mine
I dream you all the time
I long to see you
Rolling rivers in my mind
So take me as I am
Exactly where I stand
Oh, Shenandoah
Cross the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri
Lend me the healing empathy
Cause I'm planning to set sail at the top of the morning
I'm bound to leave you
I'm bound to leave you
I'm bound to leave you
I'm bound to leave you
I'm bound to leave
Cross the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri
Cross the wide Missouri
Things slow down it seems
I'm floating freely
For seven years
I will wait for thee
Hello bad dream of mine
I dream you all the time
My hand is thoughtful
Penmanship to the wayside
So take me as I am
Exactly where I stand
Oh, Shenandoah
Lend me your healing empathy
Cause I set you up to fail from the very beginning
And I have no soul
I don't belong
Just some guy you used to know
Who loved you well
And told you so
I loved you, well
But I told you no
I loved you well
So please let go
I'm bound to leave
Oh, Shenandoah I long to see you
Oh, Shenandoah I long to see you
