She's Leaving Home

[00:04.59] Wednesday morning at five o'clock
[00:08.16] As the day begins
[00:12.76] Silently closing her bedroom door
[00:18.14] Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
[00:22.61] She goes downstairs to the kitchen
[00:26.27] Clutching her handkerchief
[00:32.51] Quietly turning the back door key
[00:36.12] Stepping outside she is free
[00:40.64] She
[00:43.44] (We gave her most of our lives)
[00:46.11] Is leaving
[00:47.95] (Sacrificed most of our lives)
[00:50.68] Home
[00:52.43] (We gave her everything money could buy)
[00:56.06] She's leaving home after living alone for
[00:59.75] (Bye bye)
[01:00.69] So many years
[01:04.22] Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
[01:10.56] Picks up the letter that's lying there
[01:16.87] Standing alone at the top of the stairs
[01:22.25] She breaks down and cries to her husband
[01:25.96] Daddy our baby's gone
[01:31.30] Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
[01:34.97] How could she do this to me?
[01:40.33] She
[01:41.20] (We never thought of ourselves)
[01:43.97] Is leaving
[01:45.75] (Never a thought for ourselves)
[01:49.42] Home
[01:50.30] (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
[01:53.95] She's leaving home after living alone for
[01:57.51] (Bye bye)
[01:58.47] So many years
[02:02.01] Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
[02:11.06] Waiting to keep the appointment she made
[02:15.58] Meeting a man from the motor trade
[02:20.19] She
[02:21.97] (What did we do that was wrong?)
[02:23.70] Is having
[02:25.53] (We didn't know it was wrong)
[02:29.12] Fun
[02:30.01] (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
[02:34.58] Something inside that was always denied for
[02:38.10] (Bye bye)
[02:39.05] So many years
[02:43.55] She's leaving home
[02:47.15] (Bye bye)
[02:51.75]
