lyrics

I went searching around the bend
The Shenandoah in my dreams
And when I reached the end
All around me, the deep blue green

I found you in the garden
The flag painted on the side of the barn
And the story that you told me
Was written in your eyes and the scars on your arms

Oh lord give me strength this day
Eyes to see and ears to hear
These hills of Virginia
Oh, heal my heart and dry my tears
Sun was warm in the valley
Tomatoes were ripe on the vine
You said love is to surrender
And I don’t know why but I believed you this time

You found me on an August night
We stayed up listening to the fire sing
And I held you so tight
And wondered what the morning would bring
“Blood and soil” the crowd cried
Under a statue’s silent gaze
But the words that I remember
“Dear child, do not be afraid”

I went searching around the bend
The Shenandoah, river of my dreams
And if I ever reach the end
I’m gonna fall back into the deep blue green
