To Her Door

To Her Door - Paul Kelly

They got married early

Never had no money

Then when he got laid off they really hit the skids

He started up his drinking

Then they started fighting

He took it pretty badly she took both the kids

She said: "I'm not standing by

To watch you slowly die

So watch me walking out the door out the door"

She said "Shove it Jack

I'm walking out the f**king door"

She went to her brother's got a little bar work

He went to the Buttery stayed about a year

Then he wrote a letter said I want to see you

She thought he sounded better

She sent him up the fare

He was riding through the cane in the pouring rain

On Olympic to her door to her door

To her door

He came in on a Sunday

Every muscle aching

Walking in slow motion like he'd just been hit

Did 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 streets

In a silvertop to her door

Shaking in his seat riding through the streets

In a silvertop to her door

To her door

To her door
