Human Nature - |
|
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 hankerchief |
|
Quietly turing the backdoor key |
|
Stepping outside she is free. |
|
She (We gave her most of our lives) |
|
is leaving (Sacraficed 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 though 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. 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 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. Bye, Bye |
|
She's leaving home bye bye |
