Artist/Band: Neil Diamond
Lyrics for Song: Shilo
Lyrics for Album: Neil Diamond: The Bang Years [2011]



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 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 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 and I know that 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....Shilo....
