The Story of Billy Ray – Emma Nilsdotter

Lyrics of Emma Nilsdotter – The Story of Billy Ray

Billy Ray was a lonely child
Ge Used to play on the side and he never asked why
People said he looked just like his older brother
the thing is he never got to know him
for he left with the others

One day his mother said
“My Son, it’s time for you to leave as war approaches near”
He dreamt of conquering the world but not like this
So he left his little sister with a one last kiss

Chorus:
He sleeps in the cold in the attic
But at least he is closer to the sun
Safe from the storm, yet (his) loneliness roams
Memories of dead-end roads
Anything is better,
it’s just not home

Vers3.
Last year about this time
Billy Ray flew his kite on the mountainside
Now he’s a stranger on strange ground
Nobody knows
His scattered dream, a story untold
