Dear Billy lyrics

Dear Billy, how are you?
I hope you are well
The flowers are blooming
The plants, I can`t really tell
I see by your letter
You have no intent to come home
So I`ll take the kid and the house
And make out on my own

Dear Billy, I`m trying
To say what I feel
But the feelings are locked up in pain
I hope you`re enjoying whatever it is
You are doing in whoever`s name
The night it runs cold
And it chills to the soul
But you wouldn`t know
What`s the use
It`s all one to me
Go ahead and be free
After all, you got nothing to lose

I still go to school
And the kid, she goes too
We`re learning to silence the fear
That no one is near
She calls me `Dear`
And I wait for you
What else can I do?

No, nothing has changed
It all stays the same
We all remain ever-faithful
And someone confused
Except maybe you
Who threw the harpoon
Are you coming back soon?

Dear Billy, please send
My regards to your lady
I wish her well
And I hope that one day
We will meet on the far side of hell
Well the sun`s got the moon
And the writer his tune
But I never had nothing `cept you
And on the day that you die
I will sing lullabyes
In the hopes that you got yours, too
