They came at night
leaving fear behind shadows along the ground.
Oh
nobody knew where to find him
no evidence was found.
I'm never coming back
they heard him cry and I believe him.
Well
he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long.
Billy
Billy
don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you.
Oh no
Billy
Billy
don't you lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you.
Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldn't stop till they found him.
They didn't know him and they didn't understand
They never asked him why.
Get out of my way
they heard him shout
then a blinding light
And all they could see was him
running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night.
No
Billy
Billy
don't you lose my number
. . .
Oh
don't give up
keep running
keep hiding.
Don't give up
Billy
if you know you're right.
Don't give up
you know that I am on your side.
Don't give up
oh Billy
you better
you better
You better run for your life.
No
Billy
Billy
don't you lose my number
. . .
Oh
they came at night
leaving fear behind shadows along the ground. . . .
Oh Billy
Billy
don't you lose my number
. ..
