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 a handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key stepping outside she is free
She gave her most of our lives Is leaving most of our lives
Home gave her everything money could buy
She is leaving home after living alone for so many years
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 never thought of ourselves Is leaving a thought for ourselves
Home 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 meeting a man from the motor trade
She did we do that was wrong Is having didn't know it was wrong
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
