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 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
Counting the years
Keepin? my dreams to myself
'til the young girl with fire
Made me trust somebody else
Held my hand out, and I let her take me
Blind is 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
But you'd stay
-instrumental-
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go,? said she and knowed that I'd 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
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go,? said she and knowed that I'd 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
