John & Mary & The Valkyries Billy And Shelley Lyrics

Billy was unsteady, he knew he wasn't ready, he wasn't born for that kind of life
Shelley had a notion of harboring emotion, and never looked to that kind of life
And she knew in the day, traveling away
To the Neverland, where no one knows her name.

Another endless delay, the clanging of the railway, without a word she hurried along
Shelley listed reasons why tears were out of season, convinced herself that he was insane
And she knew in the day, traveling away Queen of a Neverland, where no one's left to blame,
Left to blame,
Left to blame.

A certain kind of envy, spring sang without a memory, like when in fury storms will arise
The morning bells are ringing, kids are really singing, too much weeping blinds the eyes
And she knew in the day, it's time to stay
In the sudden light, another chance to see the light,
To see the light,
To see the light.
