The Boy is Gone Songtext
von Billy Bob Thornton

They say you can′t go home, god knows I've tried
Seems that I′m all alone by your side
When the perfect picture hung is just a dusty wall
The words that have been sung I can't recall


His voice still echoes off these walls where he was born
And where he passed my haunted soul will always mourn
And his will last the boy is gone

I saw myself in him, I've lost my sight
His sweet shadow dimmed our light
Memories creep through me like flaming vines
And now we′re a memory in time
