   Mama says she’s tired again
   No one can even begin to tell her
   I hardly know what to say
   But maybe it’s better that way
   If papa were here, I’m sure he’d tell herShannon is gone, I hope she’s drifting out to sea
   She always loved to swim away
   Maybe she’ll find an island with a shaded tree
   Just like the one in our backyardMama tries hard to pretend
   Things will get better again
   Somehow, she’s keeping it all inside her
   But finally the tears fill our eyes
   And I know that somewhere tonight
   She knows how much we really miss herShannon is gone, I hope she’s drifting out to sea
   She always loved to swim away
   Maybe she’ll find an island with a shaded tree
   Just like the one in our backyard
   Just like the one in our backyardAh, ah
   Ah, ah
