Neil Diamond - Shilo lyrics
[Neil Diamond - Shilo lyrics]
Young child with dreams
Dreaming each dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo you always came and we'd play
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, I let her take me
Blind as a child all I saw was the way
That she made me smile she made me smile
Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo you always came and you'd stay
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans "Got to go
And I know that you'll understand"
I understand
Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came come today
Shilo shilo
Dreaming each dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo you always came and we'd play
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, I let her take me
Blind as a child all I saw was the way
That she made me smile she made me smile
Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo you always came and you'd stay
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans "Got to go
And I know that you'll understand"
I understand
Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came come today
Shilo shilo
