Billy Lyrics - Hayward Justin (moody Blues)

Billy left home one morning, he walked right out the door 

He said goodbye to his former life, and he never came back no more 

Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart 

Oh Billy...there's madness in your eyes 

He took his favourite handgun, with his rifle he felt free 

He cleaned them all the night before, he was armed as he could be 

Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart 

Oh Billy...there's sadness in your eyes 

'Cos it's a sad world, where there's no one 

Who can reach out, to the source of your pain 

Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world 

When only peace comes, at the end of a gun 

Whoa...oh 

He found the tallest building, like a bird's nest in the sky 

He shed a tear as he took his aim, at the people passing by 

Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart 

Oh Billy...there's sadness in your eyes 

Well it's a sad world, where there's no one 

Who can reach out, to the source of your pain 

Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world 

When only peace comes, at the end of a gun 

Whoa...oh 

Before he pulled the trigger, he knelt as if to pray 

And at the top of the church he will never be found 

Since he took his life that day 

Oh Billy...there's anger in your heart 

Ah Billy...there's sadness in your eyes 

'Cos it's a sad world, where there's no one 

Who can reach out, to the source of your pain 

Yes it's a sad world, such a sad sad world 

When only peace comes, at the end of a gun 

Yes it's a sad world, when there's no one 

Who can hold you when you just need to cry 

And it's a sad sad world when there's no one 

Who would care if, if you live or you die 

And it's a sad world, such a sad sad world 

It's a sad world
