Debris (BBC In Concert / 1974)

I left you on the debris

At the Sunday morning market

You was looking through the odds and ends

You was looking for a bargain

I heard your footsteps at the front door

And that old familiar love song

'Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there

At the top of the stairs

I went there and back

Just to see how far it is

And you, you tried to tell me

But I had to learn for myself

There's more trouble at the depot

With the General Workers' Union

And you said they'll never change a thing

You shook your head and they're not working

Oh, you was my hero

Now you are my good friend

I've been there and back

And I know how far it is

But I left you on the debris

Now we both know you got no money

And I wonder what you would have been

Without me hanging around

I went there and back

Just to see how far it is

And you, you tried to tell me

But I had to learn for myself

Oh, you was my hero

Now you are my good friend

I've been there and back
