Shilo (Live/Greek Theatre/Los Angeles/1972) Songtext
von Neil Diamond

Young child with dreams
Dreaming each 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 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
