Lyrics

Billy never did come home that night late last year
No one would believe him when he said that she was here
Waking up one morning saw his girlfriend lying there
A crumpled note, the only hope was he would always care

Remember how we’d skip the narrow streets
The wind was in your hair and you seemed mine to keep
For a second I could swear there’s no innocence in you
When you took me for a ride to a place I never knew

Susie Wilkins never stood a chance
The first hit never left her, her arms scratching with ants
And the looks she got, the stranger’s lot, as she walked the town
But Billy never could see how she ever could come down

Davey Trainor never knew her name
He watched her trip and fall, and her shadow on the wall
In the same position he had seen her then
And the same decision helped her at the end

Remember how we’d climb the narrow steps to the roof
Looking to the East in our search for the truth
Every minute spent together was a star in the sky
Skipping through the galaxy spinning up high
