Billy's Gone

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 saw it all from my window

I could hear it all trough the day

You were pleading, he was laughing

as 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

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

Yet it's a common situation

but you don't need more of the same

If it's after the fact, that he ain't coming back

then he's the one to blame

So you tell me you barely miss him

You'll be cool now you're on your own

So can you 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

we all need somebody there

And I've got all the love you're searching for

and time enough to spare

I fulfilled my obligations

and baby no one could ask for more

Let me give you cause to celebrate

come on and let your spirit soar

Now don't give up on give and take

you've got to open up your secret door

If it's a matter of fact, that he ain't coming back

in time you'll know for sure

Yeah yeah yeah

Don't give up on give and take

(After Billy's gone)

Open up the secret door

(After Billy's gone)

It's a fact, no looking back

(Yeah yeah)

in time you'll know for sure

After Billy's gone

After Billy's gone, oh yeah
