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 was watching you from my window From 'cross the street only yesterday You were pleading, 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're 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 fulfilled your obligations And baby none could ask for more And you had good cause to hesitate Come on and let your spirit soar Well, I can't give if you won't take You've got to open up the secret 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
