CHORUS
Billy come home now and keep me good company,
Billy come sit by my side.
Billy come home now and keep me good company, can't you see Bill how I've cried.

Billy went off one day, leaving his wife alone, never said why or good bye
But it was to much for him, yet not enough for him, everything fell like a lie.
And in quiet moments an emptiness came to him, he never know when or why,
Only that all the vows, didn't mean nothing now, so hard to watch something die. CHORUS


Crossing the country, Bill /felt awful lonely, not /living just /hitching a /ride,
Talking to many men, /never knew anyone, /friendless ex/cept for his /pride.
And all these feelings of /loneliness, emptiness, /kept growing deeper in/side.
Gathering storms of pain, /tears burned his eyes again, /Billy had no place to /hide.
CHORUS

Why is this story told, /ever since days of old, //men leaving /women a/lone,
When all the good is done, /time to be moving on, the /hero's are /all rolling /stones,
And yet when they leave them and /go seeking freedom and /think that the Eaglea has/flown,
These /proud independents, so /bravely resplendent, will /find there's no joy in a/lone.
