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 (sacrified 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 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 Greeting a man from the Motortrade
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.
