Billy Boy Lyrics

Sometimes I struggle to clarify

Whether my recall is all that it seems

But then I'm confused by so many

Images and sounds filling my dreams

There's a chance that the sore contraction

The stormy bygone

Makes you fashion a course of action

That guarantees you're avoiding hoi polloi

Won't you Billy Boy

Past the wood, into the neighbourhood

There we are walking, talking you to me

When did our dear wood become fenny

Was there a design that I did not see

There's a chance that the plot untangles

Again and thus you

Set your motion and stark right angles

With no thought for the connections you destroy

Won't you Billy Boy

At the start of June time

Our commune time

seemed unbounded

Show me the way to the door

Leave all my stuff on the floor

Now pretend there was nothing before

If that works for you

But isn't it tough to ignore

That you can't push all the lore

Under that charpoy

Can you Billy Boy

Were we blind to the acts that foment

Alarm and pain or

Will we now dare to take a moment

To understand the behaviours we employ

Will we Billy Boy

So will we Billy Boy
