Chorus

Verse 1

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

Chorus

 And I thought I loved Harold and 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 heaven will wanna love me.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

 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 the world is heaven that won't accept me.

 I said goodbye to Harold and goodbye to John,

 Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom.

 I loved them so easy and I loved the so free,

 So I don't think heaven will wanna love me.

Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light

 No light will shine me?
