Shenandoah Lyrics

I see you spinning

A white dress in the Shenandoah Valley

You are another bloom

Amongst the field of wildflowers

You got passed up by devils

When you made a king's crown out of holly

A savior in a thorn bush

A back road in foreign cities

You moved up north

When you ran away from home in the fall

I've been praying for rain

And you've been praying that I don't stop

I buried poetry in your yard

Along with a bust of a saint

That was my last blessing

And I just gave it away

I see you spinning

A white dress in the Shenandoah Valley

You are another bloom

Amongst the field of wildflowers

I passed up on an angel

When you made that white dress out of ivy

A compromise in a church pew

I mourn the death on the freeway

And we're singing dirges in the dark

And we're singing dirges in the dark

You were built from all of the best prayers

And I was built in the dark

I see you spinning

A white dress in the Shenandoah Valley

You are another bloom

Amongst the field of wildflowers
