the last time i saw you, billy - simon joyner lyrics

Loading...

you said i’m going where the weather suits my rags and feathers
i can’t breathe in this town of tears and tumble weed
it seems i’ve burned every bridge so i don’t know how to get there
i buried my talents in a napkin, but that’s some faded currency
since they’ve taken my crown away from me

oh, billy

i remember, you’d hang your hat where ever you wanted
[flying] on a prayer rug, you were smoke across a flower moon
now i hope the street is cold enough for those who haunted
no one expects to hear your sweet talk around here anytime soon
since your crown is a can kicked down the avenue

oh, billy
oh, billy

oh, billy, where have you gone?
with those constellations fallen from your tongue
and the [fry cook] burns like speed bumps up and down your arms
and that hessian’s kiss you hid with that scar from blond on blonde
and the [umbrage] to the landlord who stole your sh-t and locked you out
and someone else’s prescription floating sideways in your mind
and the p-wnshop guitar held together with duct tape and campfire smoke
and all the yellow letters in your shoe-box that say, “i’m not ever coming home”

oh, billy

your mother shakes when she cradles her telephone
she says, “i’ve got this turquoise vase and it holds a big bouquet
son, i pray you never have to know how it is to be so alone
[to] sit and watch petals fall one by one every day
till they’ve taken my own crown away

oh, billy
don’t hang up yet, please
come on, billy
say goodnight
