Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock as the day begins
She (we gave her most of our lives)
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
She (we never thought of ourselves)
Friday morning at 9 o'clock, she is far away
She (what did we do that was wrong?)
She's leaving home, bye bye
Return to Beatles lyrics.
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 back door key
stepping outside, she is free
is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
home (we gave her everything money could buy)
she's leaving home after living alone
for so many years
picks up the letter that's lying there
standing alone at the top of the stair
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?
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
waiting to keep the appointment she made
meeting a man from the motor trade
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
