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 a handkerchief Quietly turning the backdoor key stepping outside she is free She gave her most of our lives Is leaving most of our lives Home gave her everything money could buy She is 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's gone Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly How could she do this to me She never thought of ourselves Is leaving a thought for ourselves Home 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 did we do that was wrong Is having didn't know it was wrong 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
