LEVEL 42 - Billy's Gone lyrics

rate me

Well I ain't come here to try to save you<br>I don't want you to rescue me<br>But you need a friend like a godsend<br>It's plain to see<br><br>I was watching you from my window<br>From 'cross the street only yesterday<br>You were pleading, he was laughing<br>He drove away<br><br>So it seems so out of place<br>The smile upon your face<br>It's the pain inside<br>Brings me to your door<br>On the day<br>After billy's gone<br><br>So you tell me you barely miss him<br>That you'll be cool now you're on your own<br>But you can't tell me why you're waiting<br>By the phone<br><br>So many people say<br>It's the smile gives you away<br>It's the dreams denied<br>Brings me to your door<br>On the day<br>After billy's gone<br><br>Well I'll try to keep it simple<br>If you need somebody there<br>I've got all the love you're searching for<br>And time enough to spare<br>Well you fulfilled your obligations<br>And baby none could ask for more<br>And you had good cause to hesitate<br>Come on and let your spirit soar<br>Well, I can't give if you won't take<br>You've got to open up the secret door<br>And as a matter of fact I'm not taking you back<br>In time you'll know for sure<br><br>After billy's gone<br>After billy's gone, oh yeah
