Emiliana Torrini I Really Loved Harold Lyrics

I Really Loved Harold Lyrics

They told me when I was little,

I'd go to heaven if I was good.

Now
I'm a long way from little,

'Cause I tried to find heaven,

'Cause I
thought that I could.

I thought that I could.



And I thought I
loved Harold,

And I really loved John,

I really loved Alphy

I
almost loved Tom.

I loved them so easy,

And I loved them so
free.

Now I don't think that heaven

Will wanna love me.



Hallo, song of the willow,

The dreams under my pillow,

Turned to
tears that I cried.

Beauty and love are our riddle,

Never to answer,
but always to try.

And, boy, did I try.



And I tried with
Harold,

And I tried with John.

I tried with Alphy,

And almost
with Tom.

I left myself open,

For the whole world to see.

Now
I don't think that heaven

Will wanna love me.



So I said
goodbye to Harold,

And goodbye to John.

Goodbye to Alphy,

And
goodbye to Tom.

I loved them so easy,

And I loved them so free.

Now I don't think that heaven

Will wanna love me.



Oh say,
can you see?

By the dawn's early light

No light will shine me
