Shilo (Live at the Greek Theatre, 2012) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Counting the years
Keeping my dreams to myself
Till the young girl with fire
Made me trust somebody else
[Chorus]
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
Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Counting the years
Keeping my dreams to myself
Till the young girl with fire
Made me trust somebody else
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Interlude]
Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala
[Chorus]
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go' said she knows that I understand
I understand
[Outro]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today, come today, come today
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
[Interlude]
Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala
[Chorus]
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go' said she knows that I understand
I understand
[Outro]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today, come today, come today
