They told me when I was little
I'd go to heav en,
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 and I almost loved Tom.
I loved them so easy and I
loved them so free,
So 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?
I tried with Harold and I tried with John,
I tried with Al phy and almost with Tom.
I left myself open for
the whole world to see,
Now the world is the heaven that
won't ac cept me.
I said goodbye to Harold and
goodbye to John,
Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom
'Cause I loved them so easy
and I loved them so free,
So 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?
