"Willie Came Home"
(To the tune of a slightly altered "Sunny Came Home" by Shawn Colvin)
Willie came home to see his friends,
Had happy news and wanted to share it,
"You may think no one loves Willie," he said,
"But Roxanne does." A dream, he would dare it.
But dreams they die, I don't know why,
Love slips right through my hand,
Can't bare to break her heart,
Watch my castles, turn back into sand,
But the fates will conspire.
Willie came home to find chaos again,
He could feel his dreams burst like a bubble,
He said, "I got to get back and marry Roxanne,"
"I can't get involved now, with your troubles,"
Because dreams they die, I don't know why,
Love slips right through my hand,
Can't bare to break her heart,
Watch my castles, turn back into sand,
But the fates will conspire.
I was blue, until I met her,
Her sweet love made me much better,
I proposed, she wears my ring,
I must go now or risk everything.
Because dreams they die, I don't know why,
Love slips right through my hand,
Can't bare to break her heart,
Watch my castles, turn back into sand,
But the fates will conspire.
For friendship's sake, I'll stay and fight,
I can't let my friend down,
Now love's a fading memory, elusive dream in the night,
Willie came home,
Oh why did Willie come home.
