Shenandoah Dawn Lyrics

She knows I'm back again

Sure as the morning comes

You hit that first hairpin

Everything turns to sun

I've got a fragile load that

Broke in another's hands

Need to round off my jagged soul

Down these winding bends

Slow down, now you're in God's land

Calling you home

By a way you'd forgotten

Lean into her shoulders

She'll hold you 'til you're gone

Shenandoah Dawn

Now I'm not ready for

The city's prying ways

Stick to this cradle where

My heart can heal and pray

Let the horizon pull

Til this world unwinds

I'll fill these valleys full with

Dreams of the driving kind

Slow down, now you're in God's land

Calling you home

By a way you'd forgotten

Lean into her shoulders

She'll hold you 'til you're gone

Shenandoah Dawn

Soon as that blue ridge sinks

Into the mirror, I'll

Keep her a memory's length

When all I see are miles

And if alone I tread

Down some dead-end road

She'll be a gentle wind

Keeping my faith afloat

Slow down, now you're in God's land

Calling you home

By a way you'd forgotten

Lean into her shoulders

She'll hold you 'til you're gone

Shenandoah Dawn
