Lyrics She's Leaving Home - Neri per Caso

Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving a 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 is 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 of ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all of our lives to get by)
She is 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 the man from the motor trade

She (what did we do that was wrong)
Is having (we didn't know that was wrong)
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for so many years

She's leaving home
Bye bye
