The Derelict

Written by Dave Walker.

Oh I slept in a derelict And I ate off the floor I was wrapped in a blanket As a knock came on the door You can get out of here Said a man in a raincoat So I moved in with you and you loved me Took a trip down the highway And I spoke with my folks It's a serious business And there's no time for jokes You can get out of here Said a middle aged lady So I moved in with you, and you loved me Yes you loved, you loved me There was so much at stake Too much confusion I'd had all I could take No more get out of heres From a man in a raincoat Cause I moved in with you, and you loved me
