She said: "Come back Billy, you have been away so long"
I go through burned out streets
And I've been away too long


I go walking with my hands slinging loose
I go walking in my welcro shoes

I go walking with the wind snapping at my heels
How do you think that feels?


(Chorus)
You're gonna need someone
Need someone when my eyes close

You're gonna need someone
Need someone when my eyes close


She said: "Come back Billy, come back from wherever you are"
I ain't got another set of lives for you
To string on to your guitar

Well, I've been walking with my hands free
Skippin' on the sidewalk, see
I've been walking with the wind snapping at my heels

How do you think that feels?

(Chorus)


When my eyes close (4x)


You're gonna need someone (2x)
When my eyes close


(Chorus)

When my eyes close (2x)

Eyes close
