She Is Leaving Home - Harry Nilsson

作词：John Lennon/Paul Mc Cartney

作曲：John Lennon/Paul Mc Cartney

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

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 alone

For so many years

Bye bye)

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

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

Bye bye)

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

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

Bye bye)

She's leaving home

Bye bye)
