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 - we gave her most of our lives
Is leaving - sacrificed most of our lives
Home - We 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 - 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 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
