Shannon Rhodes

(album: And Now That I'm In Your Shadow - 2006)

I drove from Montesano to Aberdeen
From Aberdeen to Pacific Beach
And a pocket full of wrong numbers
Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes?

I see her in the window of my memory
She's standing like an angel down the hall
I'll call you when I get home this evening
Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes?

Some say that she moved in with her lover
The man that her mother could not stand
"Ma, he only hits me when he's angry"
Has anybody seen Shannon Rhodes?

Four miles from the highway they found her
Laying in the tall grass by the road
And she was murdered by the hands of her lover
Goodbye, goodbye, Shannon Rhodes

Yesterday I went out to her grave site
It was the same day that her lover stood his trial
And at her grave I stood there and remembered
All of my days with her are gone
