She's Leaving Home

[00:05.65] Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins

[00:16.55] Silently closing her bedroom door

[00:22.19] Leaving the note that she hoped would say more

[00:26.96] She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief

[00:38.98] Quietly turning the backdoor key

[00:44.63] Stepping outside, she is free

[00:49.98] She (We gave her most of our lives)

[00:55.61] Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)

[01:01.43] Home (We gave her everything money could buy)

[01:06.98] She's leaving home after living alone (Bye-bye)

[01:11.67] For so many years

[01:17.52] Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

[01:28.95] Picks up the letter that's lying there

[01:34.61] Standing alone at the top of the stairs

[01:39.67] She breaks down and cries to her husband, "Daddy, our baby's gone

[01:51.98] Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?

[01:57.90] How could she do this to me?"

[02:03.46] She (We never thought of ourselves)

[02:08.99] Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)

[02:14.83] Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)

[02:20.40] She's leaving home after living alone (Bye-bye)

[02:25.08] For so many years

[02:30.65] Friday morning at nine o'clock, she is far away

[02:42.08] Waiting to keep the appointment she made

[02:47.73] Meeting a man from the motor trade

[02:53.35] She (What did we do that was wrong?)

[02:58.70] Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)

[03:04.33] Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

[03:09.95] Something inside that was always denied (Bye-bye)

[03:14.75] For so many years

[03:21.23] She's leaving home (Bye-bye)
