Faces: "Debris" Lyrics

(Ronnie Lane) 

I left you on the Debris 

At the Sunday morning market 

You were sorting 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 was 

And you, you tried to tell me 

But I had to learn for myself.

Theres 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 their not working."

Oh you was my hero 

How 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 done 

Without me hanging around.
