She's Leaving Home

The Beatles
Seq'ed by : D.W. Barnes
Kar'ed by : Gilbert Orlandi

Wedn'sday 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 down stairs to the
kitchen clutching her
handkerchief.

Quietly turning the
backdoor key.
Steping outside she is free.

She (We gave her most of our lives) is
leaving. (Sacrificed most of our lives.)
home. (We gave her ev-'ry-thing that mo-ney could buy)
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 our selves) is
leaving. (Never a thought for our selves.)
home. (We struggled hard all our lives to get by.)
She's leaving home after
liv-ing 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.)
Something inside that was always
denied for so man-y years.

She's leaving home. (bye bye.)
