She's Leaving Home萨克斯谱

歌曲歌词

Wednesday morning at five 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's leaving home after living alone for so many years
Bye， bye
Father snores as his wife gets into herdressinggown
Picks up a 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 should she treat us sothoughtlessly?
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's been always denied for so many years
She's leaving home bye-bye

创作背景

约翰和我一起写的这首歌，是我的灵感。我们在报纸上看到一个新闻，是一个女孩离家出走，到现在还没找到。那时有很多这类事情，足够让我们创作一个故事了。于是我开始写歌词：she slips out and leaves a note and then the parents wake up（她留下一个纸条，偷偷的离开了。她的父母醒来）很让人心酸的。我喜欢这样的词，我拿去给约翰看，他添加了保持音， 这首歌的结构中有一个很好的地方是它一直保持着同一个调，我们以前的创作会改调但是这首歌保持在C调，非常吸引人。这真是一个漂亮的小把戏，我认为它起了很好的效果。
