Billy's leavin' today.
Don't know where
he's goin'. Holds his
head in disgrace.
He can't escape the truth.
He knows the price
that he's paid. He admits
that, it's too late, to
admit that, he's afraid.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow
becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done.
The prodigal son
is too late.
Old doors are closed
but he's always open,
to relive time, in his mind.
Oh Billy
Billy's leavin' today.
Don't know where
he's goin'. He's got lines
on his face. They tell
a story, of his fate.
He accepts, it's his fate.
He admits it, took too long,
to admit that,
he was wrong.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow
becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done.
The prodigal son
is too late.
Old doors are closed
but he is always open,
To relive time,
in his mind. Oh Billy
Once he was a lover.
sleepin' with another.
Now he's just
known as a cheat.
And he wish he'd
had a mirror, looked
a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes
of the weak.
Yeah, and once he
was a lover,
sleepin' with another.
Now he's just
known as a cheat.
And he wish he'd
had a mirror, looked
a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes
of the weak.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow
becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done.
The prodigal son
is too late.
Old doors are closed
but he's always open,
To relive time,
in his mind. Oh Billy
Oh Billy
