To Her Door Lyrics - 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, out the door 

She said, "Shove it Jack 

I'm walking out the fucking 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 the fare 

He was riding through the cane 

In the pouring rain 

On Olympic to her door 

And his heart was singing like a lowdown guitar. 

Photos 

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
