She's Leaving Home |
Wednesday morning at five o’clock |
As the day begins |
Silently closing her bedroom door |
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more |
She goes downstairs to the kitchen |
Clutching her handkerchief |
Quietly turning the back door key |
Stepping outside she is free |
She (We gave her most of our lives) |
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives) |
Home (We gave her everything money could buy) |
She’s leaving home after living alone (Bye bye) |
For so many years |
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown |
Picks up the letter that’s lying there |
Standing alone at the top of the stairs |
She breaks down and cries to her husband |
«Daddy, our baby’s gone» |
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly? |
How could she do this to me? |
She (We never thought of ourselves) |
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves) |
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by) |
She’s leaving home after living alone (Bye bye) |
For so many years |
Friday morning at nine o’clock |
She is far away |
Waiting to keep the appointment she made |
Meeting a man from the motor trade |
She (What did we do that was wrong?) |
Is having (We didn’t know it was wrong) |
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can’t buy) |
Something inside that was always denied (Bye bye) |
For so many years |
She’s leaving home |
Bye bye |
