(Lyrics adjusted by me.)

Oh Shenandoah I long to see thee
Away you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah I long to see thee.
Away, I’m bound away
Cross the wide Missouri.

Twas 7 long years since last I see thee
Away you rolling river
Twas 7 long years since last I see thee
Away, I’m bound away
Cross the wide Missouri.

So I ran to the corners of the land
And the sky did lay his hand so hard upon me.
There I lay, 20 nights and 20 days
And every day it seemed to rain
And I felt your waters on me.

In 7 more years, I won’t forget thee.
Away you rolling river.
In 7 more years, I won’t forget thee.
Away, I’m bound away
Cross the wide Missouri.

Sacred are the things that last
But you come on so hard and fast I cry.

Sacred things are meant to be
But you won’t put your claim on me so I
Belong to myself.

And the claim of
The life that I have known.
Please don’t let me go there.
Please don’t let me go back to the

Claim of the life that I have known.
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go.

You come on so fast and dark
Leave just when you’ve had enough
I lie- cloud in my mind.

Sacred things are meant to be
But you won’t put your claim on me and why?
There’s a woman you love

And the claim of
The life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there.
Please don’t let me go back to the

Claim of the life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go back to the

Claim of the life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go.

Claims appear on every street
The ripples where the rivers meet thats life.
Climb their way up every wall
They do whatever’s wanted to survive.

Pick your phone up with your ring
You leave like its not anything but why?
There’s a woman you love.

Through the alleyways I creep
A cloud of smoke when people sleep
And I belong to myself.

And the claim of the life that I have known
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go back to the

Claim of the life that I have known.
Please don’t let me go there
Please don’t let me go.

Pink and green, all alone
Guess you never really had a home.
Circles form, fires shine
You alone are left behind

To learn the ways
To burn the pain away
To find the gold
For you alone are truly old.

Chicken leg, gnaw the bone
Make your bed curled against a stone.
Circles form, fires shine
You alone are left behind

To see through things
To learn from bearded kings
To find the gold
For you alone are truly old.

Morning gold, wake in dew
Little bugs fly all over you.
Tiny bugs, tiny wings
In the end, you are a friend to things.

To feel
To know what’s really real
To touch the shine
Another world is left behind.

Fires shine, do not go
Never circle round their glow.
Fires shine in the night
Independent of their light

You alone are truly old.
You alone are truly old
You alone are truly old
You alone are truly old.

Did you string the pearls on that long long line?
Did you hear that sound?
Don’t worry its just time.

Because love makes men cold.
And in the darkness they grow bold.
I know it dont seem fair; but that’s how it goes.

So walk walk walk away until you start to run.
This is not the end- it is just the pain begun to show
The places you need to go
And when you reach the end- you’ll know.

Did you see those men as they sailed away?
Everyone believing it was just another day?

When they sink in the night
Their smiles still fastened tight
Welcome to the velvet light.

They walk walk walk away until they start to run
But this is not the end- it is just the pain begun to show
The places you need to go
And when you reach the end- you’ll know.

For an urge to please and a dream of sweet release
Let the souls come marching in.
You unfurl your map still
You always end up trapped.
That’s why I always win.

Lay down and let the red wash over you.
Can you feel the whole world lying next to you?
For a taste so nice
It burns like skin on ice
So you turn then come back twice.

You walk walk walk away until you start to run.
But this is not the end- it is just the pain begun to show
The places you need to go
And when you reach the end- you’ll know.

I love money- thank you!

The moon a crescent in the sky
The world a carpet down below
He came to place me on the ferris wheel
His face a shadow in the show.

Green. Green.

Pull back the curtain and you’ll find
An empty room that know one knows
Just shake your head and climb the ferris wheel
This is the world that you will come to know.

Green. Green.

I thought the flowers they would one day, one day
I thought the leaves and trees would one day call me home.

You take my hand just like a leaf
You show my foot just where to go
You help me climb upon the ferris wheel
You point down at the world below.

Green. Green.

Walk away and don’t turn back I told you.
There’s no home for you here.
There’s no home for you here.

Look at me with big brown eyes but no dear.
There’s no home for you here.
There’s no home for you here.

Oh and please do not cry.
For I treated you kind.
Like a king I walked by you
And I showed you the sky.

Walk on to the next green hill then go dear.
This is your time to fly.
This is your time to fly.

Don’t hold onto me and please don’t cry now.
For I treated you kind.
Always treated you kind.

Now you’ll go your own way
And it won’t be so hard.
All the things that I gave you
Will keep you safe and warm.

Didn’t I calm the storm
Like a fire safe and warm?
Wrap you up in my robes
Don’t repay me now with tears that its your time to go.

Don’t hold onto me and please don’t cry now.
Didn’t I treat you right?
Always treated you right.

Wasn’t I your wall against the cold dear
When you hid from the night?
You were scared of the night.

Oh and you’ll be okay
You’ll make friends with the cold.
Won’t need no one to claim you
Won’t need nobody’s soul.

Didn’t I calm the storm
Like a fire safe and warm?
Wrap you up in my robes
Don’t repay me now with tears that it’s your time to go.

Pin me down, feed me grapes
Lay your shirt upon my face
So easy to love

Pin me down beneath your shoe
You have better things to do
So easy to fall

And you say
That I’m easy to love
And you say
That you’ll always be the one who I can run to

You have better things to do than lie
I have better things to do than cry

In the dark, meet you there
Run your fingers through my hair
So easy to fall

From the dark to the dawn
Make me feel like love will just go on
So easy to crawl

And you say
That I’m easy to love
And you say
That you’ll always be the one who I can run to

You have better things to do than lie
I have better things to do than cry

Had your money on my mind
It doesn’t matter if he’s kind
You close your eyes and let it roll away

Meet you at a new location
In between the conversation
Something makes me feel like I’m okay

Cause you say
That I’m easy to love
So I’ll try
To be easy to love
And I’ll try
To never need nobody I can run to cause

You have better things to do than lie
I have better things to do than cry

This is my opinion on what women should do to avoid downwards spirals in relationships.
