Well we were born within
one hour of each other.
Our mothers said we
could be sister & brother.
Your name is
Deborah. Deborah.
It never suited you
Oh and they said
that when we grew up
we'd get married
& never split up.
We never did it,
although I often
thought of it.
Oh Deborah,
do you recall?
Your house was
very small with
wood-chip on the wall.
When I came around
to call you didn't
notice me at all.
& I said
“Let's all meet up
in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange
when we're all
fully grown?
Be there 2 o'clock
by the fountain
down the road"
I never knew that
you'd get married,
I would be living
down here on my own.
On that damp & lonely
Thursday years ago.
You were the first girl
at school to get breasts.
Martyn said
that you were the best.
The boys all loved you
but I was a mess.
I had to watch them try
& get you undressed.
We were friends that
was as far as it went.
I used to walk you home
sometimes but it meant
it meant nothing to you
`cos you were so popular.
Ah Deborah do you recall?

very small with
wood-chip on the wall.

to call you didn't
notice me at all.
