Shilo [Just For You] lyrics
by Chip Taylor
[Verse 1]
Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind
[Chorus]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came and we'd play
[Verse 2]
Counting the years
Keeping my dreams to myself
'Til a young girl with fire
Made me trust somebody else
[Verse 2 version 2]
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could
[Pre-Chorus]
Held my hand out and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile
[Chorus]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came but you'd stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go," said she'd know that I'd understand
I understand
[Chorus]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today
[Pre-Chorus]
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go," said she'd know that I'd understand
I understand
[Outro]
Shilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today
