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 down the stairs 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 sacrificed 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'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
