Debris (Ronnie Lane’s Big Dipper (live on Capital radio)) Songtext
von Ronnie Lane

I left you on the debris
At the Sunday morning market
You were sorting through the odds and ends
Yeah, 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
Oh, at the top of the stairs, yeah

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
Some are fighting for not working"

Oh, you was my hero
How you are my good friend
Oh now, I've been there and back
And I know how far it is

But I left you on the debris
We both know you got no money
And I wonder what you could have done
Without me hanging around ya

I went there and back
For just to see how far it is
And you, you tried to tell me
But I had to learn for myself
