Thirty years today

she's been upon this earth
And she can't help but wonder

 what it's all been worth

She swears she loves those kids

and she doesn't mind that load
But there ain't much conversation

with a three-year-old

She's trapped inside these walls
A prisoner in this fine suburban home, so.

 She dreams she dreams
He'll come home from work and carry her away
And he'll see she needs
The man she's still in love with when she dreams

And he's proud of his work

and the ladder that he's climbed
But from that high-rise office

he can't hear her cry

Ringing telephones

and decisions to be made
Even when he gets home he's so far away

Then he drifts off to sleep
And she enters her world of make believe

She dreams she dreams
He'll come home from work

and carry her away

And he'll see she needs
The man she's still in love with when she dreams
