They told me when I was little,
|
I'd go to heaven if I was good.
|
Now I'm a long way from little,
|
'Cause I tried to find heaven,
|
'Cause I thought that I could.
|
I thought that I could.
|
|
And I thought I loved Harold,
|
And I really loved John,
|
I really loved Alphy
|
I almost loved Tom.
|
I loved them so easy,
|
And I loved them so free.
|
Now I don't think that heaven
|
Will wanna love me.
|
|
Hallo, song of the willow,
|
The dreams under my pillow,
|
Turned to tears that I cried.
|
Beauty and love are our riddle,
|
Never to answer, but always to try.
|
And, boy, did I try.
|
|
And I tried with Harold,
|
And I tried with John.
|
I tried with Alphy,
|
And almost with Tom.
|
I left myself open,
|
For the whole world to see.
|
Now I don't think that heaven
|
Will wanna love me.
|
|
So I said goodbye to Harold,
|
And goodbye to John.
|
Goodbye to Alphy,
|
And goodbye to Tom.
|
I loved them so easy,
|
And I loved them so free.
|
Now I don't think that heaven
|
Will wanna love me.
|
|
Oh say, can you see?
|
By the dawn's early light
|
No light will shine me
|
