Billy, do you know how hard this is for your poor mother
Guessing that you wouldn't bother
As the world ends you fade out of sight
Don't you think you could have
brought me with you up that beam of light
Now I'm all alone in the shade
You didn't even say goodbye
Guess it doesn't matter now
Billy, as the spacecraft took you up into the sky
I swear I must have seen you smile
And I remember you whispered something to me
But you know I don't even know what where when why or even how
I guess it doesn't matter now
You didn't even say goodbye
Cover me in all of your shade.
And even though you said your prayers
I didn't push I didn't care
I only wanted you to know
The love that I have never known
Will always be there true to you
Unless it's not my point of view
So be the moon I am the earth
Cover me from solar bursts
‘Cause you know I couldn't fight it any other way
Cover me in all of your shade
Cover me in all of your shade
Silly, to have thought my only son would never leave
Guess this is the thanks we reap
Were the spiritual doctrines I gave to you
Not enough to see you through
The never ending sleepless nights
Every night you woke me up
and man I swear it wasn't right
Look at what I sacrificed!
And even though you said your prayers
I didn't push I didn't care
I only wanted you to know
The love that I have never known
Will always be there true to you
Unless it's not my point of view
So be the moon I am the earth
Cover me from solar bursts
That take away the parts of you
To keep at bay the parts of me
So give me reason for today
This is the reason, this is the grace
Oh you know I couldn't fight it any other way
Cover me in all of your shade
Cover me in all of your shade
I remember when you tried to run away and then I busted in your face
You looked at me as if I had just split the universe in two
Ooooh oooh tell me now before you go
Ooooh oooh tell me now before you go
