Neil Diamond - Shilo (1970)

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 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“ 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....
