little billy jones

1.
little billy jones
with bruises on his arms
so very rarely smiled
except when the room was quiet & calm
his little body shook
every time he heard the door
so afraid of who was coming
afraid of daddys footsteps on the floor

chorus
little billy jones
was born with a smile upon his face
his loving mother adored him
prepared his nursery like fine lace
but she should have put a lock
upon the inside of the door
2 protect billy from his father
who was always wanting more

2.
little billy jones
with nothing left 2 say
gave up on his talking
just wishing, please daddy go away
his mother tried protection
but for every tear she cried
daddy took no notice
pushing his brave mummy 2 one side

chorus

3.
little billy jones
belt marks on his back
grew up hating everyone
as he slowly grew detatched
from the life we take for granted
from the love we hold so dear
growing up with sweet security
with just the unknown for us 2 fear

chorus

4.
little billy jones
at peace,
arms crossed in the ground
lost memories of his mother
now just angels all around
at last he feels no pain
at last he knows no fear
4 every little billy Join me
as i cry a sad & sorry tear

chorus
