Lyrics

William

You were so young, when they handed you a gun
They sent you off, to face another’s son
They said there was a time, you could laugh and smile
But all I saw, was your quiet storm

I wish I knew you William, I wish I knew you as a friend
I only knew you from a distance, but I respected you right to the end
Although we never talked, the words that needed said
Somehow I knew, you’d find other ways instead
To show you cared

There came a time, when you left it all behind
You left your home, to start anew
You crossed an ocean, just to get away
To leave the past, and start again
(Chorus part 1 and 2)
Did you find what you were looking for? Did you live a life fulfilled?
Or were you always looking back, are you looking back there still?
They said there was a time you could laugh and smile
But all I saw, was your quiet storm
(Chorus part 1, repeat)
