Shilo
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
