She left with a case, not even a note
Heels clicking she never turned back
Clickety click, clickety clack
Where’s mum - little faces pressed
against the glass, eyes searching
Come away, says he, have your tea
She left for another, in her best coat
Heels clicking, she moved on with glee
Clickety clack, entertained on her back
Where’s mum- little cheeks stained
with tears, still eyes searching
Get to bed, says he, you’ve still got me
She left for the new, her old life remote
Heels clacking, she felt they did click
Clickety clack, her heels left no track
Where’s mum - little hearts pleading
Eyes searching and searching
Clickety clack, she’s not coming back.
