Paul Kelly - To Her Door Lyrics
They got married early, never had no moneyThen when he got laid off they really hit the skidsHe started up his drinking, then they started fightingHe took it pretty badly, she took both the kidsShe said: "I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly dieSo watch me walking, out the door, out the door, out the door"She said, "Shove it, Jack, I'm walking out the *****ing door"She went to her brother's, got a little bar workHe went to the Buttery, stayed about a yearThen he wrote a letter, said I want to see youShe thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fareHe was riding through the cane in the pouring rainOn Olympic to her doorTo her doorTo her doorHe came in on a Sunday, every muscle achingWalking in slow motion like he'd just been hitDid they have a future?Would he know his children?Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?He was shaking in his seat riding through the streetsIn a silvertop to her....Shaking in his seat riding through the streetsIn a silvertop to her doorTo her doorTo her doorTo her door
