Wedn'sday 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 ev'rything |
|
Money could buy; bye bye) |
|
Something inside that way always denied |
|
For so many years |
|
She's leaving home; bye bye. |
|
Father snores as his wife |
|
Gets info 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 is 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 of ourselves) |
|
Home |
|
(We struggled all our lives to get by; bye bye) |
|
Something inside that was |
|
Always denied for so many years |
|
She's |
|
Leaving home; bye , bye. |
|
Friday morrning at |
|
Nine 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; bye bye) |
|
Something inside that was always |
|
Denied for so many years |
|
She's leaving home; bye, bye |
