00:00WEDNESDAY MORNING
00:27Wednesday morning at five o'clock
00:34As the day begins
00:40Silently closing the bedroom door
00:47Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
00:52She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
01:06Quietly turning the backdoor key
01:13Stepping outside, she is free
01:20We never thought of ourselves
01:28Never thought for ourselves
01:35We have everything on you
01:40Goodbyes will be forever living alone for so many years
01:54Father smiles as his wife gets into the dressing gown
02:06Picks up the letter that's lying there
02:13Standing alone at the top of the stairs
02:20She breaks down and cries to her husband
02:26Daddy, our baby's gone
02:33Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
02:41How could she do this to me?
02:47She gave her most of our lives
02:55Sacrificed most of our lives
03:02We struggled hard in our lives to get by
03:09She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
03:19FRIDAY MORNING
03:23Friday morning at nine o'clock
03:28She is far away
03:34Waiting to meet the appointment she made
03:42Meeting a man from the motor train
03:49What did we do that was wrong?
03:56We didn't know it was wrong
04:03Love is the one thing that none has found
04:09The one thing inside that wants always to die
04:22She's leaving home
