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 x4 You're gonna need someone x2 When my eyes close (Chorus) When my eyes close x2 Eyes close
