Well let me tell you a story
Of the woman who loved me
Every hour of every day
She worked so hard at her job
And worked so hard to support me
That she threw her life away

And will it ever return
No it never returns
Though her fate is still unlearned
She may keep descending
On the road to nowhere
Knowing time can never return

She tied her future to mine
When she stood in that white dress
And promised her life to me
But now her future is weighed
With a babe in her belly
And another upon her knee

So will I ever return
No I’ll never return
Though our fate is still unlearned
Her to a better future
A supportive partner
She’s the debt I’ll never return
