She's Leaving Home lyrics

Wednesday morning at five o'clock

As 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 is leaving home

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

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 would she treat us so thoughtlessly?

How could she do this to me?"

She is leaving home

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

She is having fun

Something inside that was always denied

For so many years

She's leaving home

Bye-bye ...
