1. Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins,

2. Father snores as his wife gets into the dressing gown,

3. Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away,

1. Silently closing her bedroom door, leaving the note that she hoped would say more

2. picks up the letter that's lying there, standing alone at the top of the stairs,

3. Waiting to keep the appointment she made, meeting a man from a motor trade.

1. she goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief,

2. she breaks down and cries to her husband, "Daddy, our baby's gone!

1. Quietly turning the backdoor key stepping outside she is free.

2. Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly? How could she do this to me?

1. She (We gave her most of our lives) is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives),

2. She (we never thought of ourselves) is leaving (never a thought for ourselves)

3. She (What did we do that was wrong) is having (We didn't know it was wrong)

1. home (We gave her everything money could buy)

2. home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by).

3. fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy),

She's leaving home after living alone for so many years.

she's leaving home, bye, bye.
