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
