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
All doors closed but he's always open
To hear the 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
All doors closed but he's always open
To hear the 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
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)
All doors closed but he's always open
To relive time in his mind
Oh Billy
