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 Thom
I loved them so easy and I loved them so free
Now I don't think that heaven will wanna love me

Hallo
Songs of the willow
dreams under my pillow
turn to tears that I've cried

Beauty
and love are a 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 Thom
I left myself open for the whole world to see
now I don't think that heaven will wanna love me

So I said good-bye to harold
and good-bye to john
Good-bye to alphy
and good-bye to thom
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
