Lyrics:
Billy came from the eastYou came from the seaCame with a heart full of hopeAnd a head full of dreamsI danced in your armsAnd then in your arms I did sleepAnd you promised meNever would I ever weepWake up, Billy my loveI'm goin' awayI can't stand to see youDyin' this wayYour dreams aren't your own, nowThey belong to the habit you keepThey belong to the needleThe serum, the sleepBilly, a letter that cameSaid you passed awayArms so shot full of holesNo life they could holdI'll cut off your limbsAnd bury your body at seaAnd leave your arms on the shoreFor the buzzards to eatBilly, you came from the eastYou came from the seaCame with a heart full of hopeAnd a head full of dreamsGo rest in peace, nowOn the bed of the ocean you'll sleepAnd you never will wakeAnd forever I'll weep
