Dear Billy Lyrics

Dear Billy, How are you?
I hope you are well.
The flowers are blooming,
The plants, I can't really tell.
I see by your letter
You have no intent to come home.
So, I'll take the kid and the house,
And make out on my own.
Dear Billy, I'm trying to say what I feel,
But the feelings are locked up in pain.
I hope you're enjoying whatever it is
You are doing with whoever's name.
Well, the night it runs cold,
And it chills to the soul,
But you wouldn't know, what's the use.
It's all one to me,
So go ahead and be free.
After all, you got nothing to lose.
I still go to school,
And the the kid, she goes too,
We're learning to silence the fear
That no one is here.
She calls me dear.
And I wait for you,
What else can I do?
No, nothing has changed,
It all stays the same.
We all remain ever faithful,
And somewhat confused.
Except maybe you,
Who threw the harpoon.
Are you coming home soon?
Dear Billy, Please send my
Regards to your lady.
I wish her well.
And I hope that one day,
We will meet on the far side of hell.
Well, the sun's got the moon,
And the writer his tune,
But I never had nothing 'cept you.
On the day that you die,
I will sing lullabies,
In the hopes that you got yours, too.
