James Blunt - Billy lyrics

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 soul mate

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late

Old doors are 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 the 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 soul mate

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late

Old doors are 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 wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer

Seen into the eyes of the weak

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late

Old doors are closed but he's always open,

To relive time in his mind

Oh Billy
