I Really Loved Harold

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 and I almost loved Tom.

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

So 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?

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 the heaven that won't accept me.

I said goodbye to Harold and goodbye to John,

Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom

'Cause I loved them so easy and I loved them so free,

So 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
