Genesis Vancouver

She packed her bags and dressed

Long before the sunrise

No one knew

She told them many times

About how she would teach them

And now its time

Standing quietly by the door

Her face is numb with fear

She stops and then goes on

"Leave forever - its now or never"



Quickly walking down the street

Its cold and grey, dawns breaking

She dont mind (she dont mind)

Why she feels so grown up now

Her life is just beginning

She dont know (she dont know)

Shes standing in the pouring rain

Her make-ups running down

She wonders now shes here

"Where will I go? Who do I know?"



Now, now shes not quite so sure

I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now

And they might worry but she doesnt want them to

Cos causing pain, thats not the thing that she set out to do



So shes back in bed before

Anyone can miss her

She feels good (she feels good)

Knowing the chance was there

Deciding not to take it

Thats her choice (thats her choice)

Shes still awake, her mum comes in

"Me and dad, weve had a chat

And were sorry for the things we said

Please forgive us - you wouldnt leave us?"
