Album: Merman
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 almost loved Alphy
and 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
hollow
songs of the willow
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?
