Dropkick Murphys - Echoes On 'A.' Street Lyrics

Anxious nights give way to daylightShe don't cry and she don't complainTo honor, cherish, protect and keep youShe took your problems and took your nameAll she wants to do is stroll down the islandShe don't care if there's wind or there's rainOnly a women of her stature could shield youFrom the venom of this town's disdainAnd she'll wait by your sideShe'll never let you out of her sightAnd she'll wait by your sideYou're the one thing that matters in her lifeAs she waits patiently by the windowShe knows you'll be coming home soonShe'll sit quiet there and won't goHer dedication can't be movedShe hears the echoes marching down "A" streetLike footsteps on the cobblestoneA pace too heavy to be her masterThey pass her by and she's still aloneAnd she'll wait by your sideShe'll never let you out of her sightAnd she'll wait by your sideYou're the one thing that matters in her lifeShannon I'm coming home!Shannon I'm coming home!She hears the echoes marching down "A" streetLike footsteps on the cobblestoneA pace too heavy to be her masterThey pass her by and she's still aloneAnd she'll wait by your sideShe'll never let you out of her sightAnd she'll wait by your sideYou're the one thing that matters in her lifeShannon I'm coming home!Shannon I'm coming home!Shannon I'm coming home!
