billy

tanım olarak bill isminin can eki almış olanıdır diyebiliriz, billcan gibi. * geleneksel bir ingiliz-amerikan isimlendirmesidir.

diğer bir özelliği ise james blunt isimli aşk böcüğünün yaptığı en tatlı, en anlamlı şarkılardan biri biri olmasıdır. dinlenesi ve anlanası şarkıdır. genelinde gençlikte esip gürlemenin hafiften büyüdükçe nasıl yok olduğu, kafanın nasıl dizlerin arasında alınıp mahsunlaştığını anlatan güzel şarkılardan, james blunt'ın gizli hitidir. meraklısına sözleri;*

billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
he knows the price that he's paid.
he admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
tomorrow comes. sorrow becomes his soul mate.
the damage is done. the prodigal son is too late.
old doors are closed but he's always open,
to relive time in his mind.
oh billy.

billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
he's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
he accepts it's his fate.
he admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.
tomorrow comes. sorrow becomes his soul mate.
the damage is done. the prodigal son is too late.
old doors are closed but he's always open,
to relive time in his mind.
oh billy.

once he was a lover sleeping with another.
now he's just known as a cheat.
and he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
seen into the eyes of the weak.
tomorrow comes. sorrow becomes his soul mate.
the damage is done. the prodigal son is too late.
old doors are closed but he's always open,
to relive time in his mind.
oh billy.
