Billy's leaving 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 leaving today
don't know where he's going
He's got lines on his face
they tell a story
of his pain
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's always open
To relive time
in his mind
Oh Billy
Once he was a lover
sleeping with another
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he'd had a mirror
looked a little clearer
Seen into the eyes of the weak
Yeah once he was a lover
sleeping with another
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished 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
