Billy 4 |
Billy came from the east |
You came from the sea |
Came with a heart full of hope |
And a head full of dreams |
I danced in your arms |
And then in your arms I did sleep |
And you promised me |
Never would I ever weep |
Wake up, Billy my love |
I’m goin' away |
I can’t stand to see you |
Dyin' this way |
Your dreams aren’t your own, now |
They belong to the habit you keep |
They belong to the needle |
The serum, the sleep |
Billy, a letter that came |
Said you passed away |
Arms so shot full of holes |
No life they could hold |
I’ll cut off your limbs |
And bury your body at sea |
And leave your arms on the shore |
For the buzzards to eat |
Billy, you came from the east |
You came from the sea |
Came with a heart full of hope |
And a head full of dreams |
Go rest in peace, now |
On the bed of the ocean you’ll sleep |
And you never will wake |
And forever I’ll weep |
