Billy Bob Thornton - The Boy Is Gone lyrics

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 pa**ed 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 His voice still echoes Off these walls Where he was born And where he pa**ed My haunted soul Will always mourn And his will last The boy is gone His voice still echoes Off these walls Where he was born And where he pa**ed My haunted soul Will always mourn And his will last The boy is gone
