^EWednesday ^Dmorning at ^Afive ^F#mio’clock as the ^C#miday begins

^ASilently closing her ^Hbedroom door

^ALeaving the note that she ^Hhoped would say more

She goes ^Edown^Dstairs to the ^Akitchen ^F#miclutching her ^C#mihandkerchief

^AQuietly turning the ^Hbackdoor key

^AStepping outside she is ^Hfree.



R: ^EShe (We gave her most of our lives)

is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)

home (We gave her ^F#mieverything money could ^C#mibuy)

She’s leaving home after ^Aliving alone

for so ^C#mimany years.



Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing down

Picks up the letter that’s laying 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.



R: 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 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.



R: She (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 denied

for so many years.



^EShe’s leaving ^C#mihome. Bye, ^Abye ^E
