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
