Billys Gone — текст песни (Level 42)

Well I aint come here to try to save you

I dont want you to rescue me

But you need a friend like a godsend

Its 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

Its the pain inside

Brings me to your door

On the day

After billys gone



So you tell me you barely miss him

That youll be cool now youre on your own

But you cant tell me why youre waiting

By the phone



So many people say

Its the smile gives you away

Its the dreams denied

Brings me to your door

On the day

After billys gone



Well Ill try to keep it simple

If you need somebody there

Ive got all the love youre 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 cant give if you wont take

Youve got to open up the secret door

And as a matter of fact Im not taking you back

In time youll know for sure



After billys gone

After billys gone, oh yeah
