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
Yeah, and 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 (too late)
Old doors are closed, but he's always open
To relive time
In his mind
Oh, Billy
Oh, Billy
