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 backdoor key

Stepping outside she is free

She

We gave her most of our lives

Is leaving

Sacrified most of our lives

Home

We gave her everything

Money could buy

She's leaving home

After living alone

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 is 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 of ourselves

Home

We struggled hard all

Our lives to get by

She's leaving home

After living alone

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

For so many years

She´s leaving home, bye, bye
