Billy's Gone Lyrics - Singles - 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 '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
