Billy Boy
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe for half a year
well.it sneaks up fast on you
like the snow getting in your shoe
watch your breath rise in the air
your not there, your not there
Billy boy
Billy boy where did you go?
where the sky wont rain and the wind wont blow
did you burn one down on the way back home
sitting shotgun all alone
shaman came from hollow bone
turn lakota into stone
in the black bird lodge he tells a tale
of brothers lost on spirit trail
well it sneaks up fast on you
like the snow getting in your shoe
watch your breath rise in the air
your not there , your not there

me gusta mucho! -Illegal Alien Autopsy
I can't say just what it is I like about this but I do like it. Sophisticated yet primitive, world music sounds... I don't remember hearing anything quite like it.
This is really beautiful song, great recording as well, like the way ot builds... nice one :)
Really great song. I like the melodic progression. Well written. I'd like to hear more like it!
Second bite at this super tune, Nice James
Fantastic song!!!
Hi James, no I'm not stalking you:)merely playing catch-up.Do I detect a Native American feel in some of your material? Anyway loving this.
Excellent !! Really enjoy this tune. Like your choice of instruments and and a melody that really grabs hold of you.
This is one of the freshest original sounds I've heard recently. Well done. Second listen now. Billy Boy just draws you in.
love it!
Wonderful song, James, very innocent and dreamy. It builds in increments very nicely and is well paced. Has a sort of Blue Nile meets Peter Gabriel flavor.
a great tune.well done.
infectious, James I love this one. Faved on the spirit trail
