Lyrics:
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day beginsSilently closing her bedroom doorLeaving the note that she hoped would say moreShe goes downstairs to the kitchenClutching her handkerchiefQuietly turning the back door keyStepping outside she is freeShe (We gave her most of our lives)Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)Home (We gave her everything money could buy)She's leaving home after living aloneFor so many yearsFather snores as his wife gets into her dressing gownPicks up the letter that's lying thereStanding alone at the top of the stairs she breaks downAnd cries to her husband, daddy, our baby's goneWhy would she treat us so thoughtlessly?How could she do this to me?She (We never thought of ourselves)Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)She's leaving home after living aloneFor so many yearsFriday morning at nine o'clock she is far awayWaiting to keep the appointment she madeMeeting a man from the motor tradeShe (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)Something inside that was always deniedFor so many yearsShe's leaving homeBye, byeMetroLyrics
