Lyrics
Wednesday morning at five o'clock when 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 handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free
She's leaving
We gave her most of our lives
We sacrificed most of our lives
We gave her everything money could buy
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
She 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 did she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me?"
We never thought of ourselves
Never thought for ourselves
We struggled all of our lives to get by
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
It's Friday morning, nine o'clock, she's far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
She's meeting a man from the motor trade
She's falling in love
What did we do that was wrong?
We didn't know it was wrong
Love is the one thing that money can't buy
Something inside that was always denied for so many years
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
She's leaving home
