Neil Diamond - Shilo (version 2) lyrics

Title: Shilo (version 2)

-------------------------

Young child with dreams

Dream every 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

Counting the years

Keeping my dreams to myself

'Til a young girl with fire

Made me trust somebody else

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

But you'd stay

Had a dream and it filled me with wonder

She had other plans

"Got to go" said she'd know I'd 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

Had a dream and it filled me with wonder

She had other plans

"Got to go" said she'd know I'd understand

I understand

Shilo when I was young

I used to call your name

When no one else would come.....
