Shilo - Neil Diamond

Young child with dreams,
dreaming each dream on your own
And when children play,
seems like you end up alone
Papa says that 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
So I held out my hand and she took me
as 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
But she had other plans
"Got to go, and I know you'll 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
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come,
