She's Leaving Home Lyrics - Pandemonium Shadow Show - Harry Nilsson

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 after living alone forso 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 forso 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)
