Shilo Lyrics

SHILO
Neil Diamond
Written by Neil Diamond

Young child with
dreams
Dream ev'ry 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 on the only friend you can find
There in your mind

Shilo,
when I was young
I used to call you 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, and 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 you 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 you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always
came
Come today
