Billys Gone Songtext
von Level 42

Well, I ain′t come here to try to save you
I don't want you to rescue me
But you need a friend like a godsend, it′s plain to see
I was watching you from my window
From across the street only yesterday
You were bleeding, he was laughing, he drove away
So it seems so out of place, the smile upon your face
It's the pain inside brings me to your door

On the day after Billy's gone

So you tell me you barely miss him
That you′ll be cool now you′re on your own
But you can't tell me why you were waiting by the phone
So many people say, it′s the smile gives you away
It's the dreams denied brings me to your door


On the day after Billy′s gone

Well, I'll try to keep it simple
If you need somebody there

I′ve got all the love you're searching for
And time enough to spare
Well, you've fulfilled your obligations
And baby, none could ask for more
And you′ve had good cause to hesitate
Come on let your spirit soar
Well, I can′t give if you won't take
You′ve got to walk on up and see the door
And as a matter of fact, I'm not taking you back
In time you′ll know for sure


After Billy's gone
After Billy′s gone
Oh yeah
