Vancouver (Genesis)

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 it's time Standing quietly by the door Her face is numb with fear She stops and then goes on "Leave forever - it's now or never" Quickly walking down the street It's cold and grey, dawn's breaking She don't mind (she don't mind) Why she feels so grown up now Her life is just beginning She don't know (she don't know) She's standing in the pouring rain Her make-up's running down She wonders now she's here "Where will I go? Who do I know?" Now, now she's not quite so sure I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now And they might worry but she doesn't want them to Cos causing pain, that's not the thing that she set out to do So she's back in bed before Anyone can miss her She feels good (she feels good) Knowing the chance was there Deciding not to take it That's her choice (that's her choice) She's still awake, her mum comes in "Me and dad, we've had a chat And we're sorry for the things we said Please forgive us - you wouldn't leave us?"
