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 (Sacrificed most of our lives) | |
home (We gave her everything money could buy) | |
She's leaving home after living alone | |
For so many years. Bye, bye | |
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 could she treat us so thoughtlessly | |
Why could she do this to me | |
She (We never thought for 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. Bye, bye | |
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 was wrong) | |
is having (We didn't know it was wrong) | |
fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy) | |
Something inside was always denied | |
For so many years. Bye, bye | |
She's leaving home bye, bye |
