She's Leaving Home

She's Leaving Home - Miloš Karadaglić (米洛什·卡拉達格利)/Tori Amos

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 back door 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

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 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

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 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

She's leaving home

Something inside that was always denied for

So many years

She's leaving home

She's leaving home

She's leaving home

Bye home

Bye home

Bye
