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

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

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

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

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

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
