Debris

I left you on the debris

At the Sunday morning market

You were sorting through the odds and ends

You was looking for a bargainI heard your footsteps at the front door

In that old familiar love song

'Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there

At the top of the stairsI went there and back

Just to see how far it was

And you, you tried to tell me

But I had to learn for myselfThere's more trouble at the depot

With the general workers' union

And you said they'll never change a thing

Well, they won't fight and they're not workingOh, you was my hero

Now you are my good friend

I've been there and back

And I know how far it isBut I left you on the debris

Now we both know you got no money

And I wonder what you would have done

Without me hanging around
