Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Billy's leaving today
Don't know where he's going
Holds his head in disgrace
He can't escape the truth
He knows the price that he's paid
He admits that it's too late
To admit that he's afraid
[Chorus]
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soulmate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
Old doors closed, but he's always open
To relive time in his mind
Oh, Billy
[Verse 2]
Billy's leaving today
Don't know where he's going
He's got lines on his face
They tell a story of his pain
He accepts it's his fate
He admits it took too long
To admit that he was wrong
[Chorus]
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soulmate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late
Old doors closed, but he's always open
To relive time in his mind
Oh, Billy
[Bridge]
Once he was a lover sleeping with another
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror, looked a little clearer
Seen into the eyes of the weak
Yeah, and once he was a lover sleeping with another
Now he's just known as a cheat
And he wished he had a mirror, looked a little clearer
Seen into the eyes of the weak
[Chorus]
Tomorrow comes, sorrow becomes his soulmate
The damage is done, the prodigal son is too late (Too late)
Old doors closed, but he's always open
To relive time in his mind
Oh, Billy
Oh, Billy
