There came a night leaving fear behind, shadows are on the ground
And nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found
I`m never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong, it`s gonna get worse if he waits too long
chorus:
Now Billy, Billy don`t you lose my number
`Cos you`re not anywhere that I can find you
Oh now Billy, Billy don`t you lose my number
`Cos you`re not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Searchin` through the day and into the night
They wouldn`t stop until they found him
They didn`t know him and they didn`t understand, nobody asked him why
`Get out of my way`, I heard a shout, then a blinding light
All I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night
chorus
Don`t give up, keep running, keep hiding
Now don`t give up, oh Billy, if you know you`re right
Don`t give up, `cos you know that I am on your side
Don`t give up, oh Billy
You better, you better, you better run for your life
(Solo)
chorus

chorus
Billy, Billy don`t you lose my number
`Cos you`re not anywhere that I can find you, oh Billy
