A Life Of Her Own

She sits alone in the kitchen

With her memories without the gloves

She thinks of all the better times she's had

She was young, the days seemed short

So much to do, so little time

But now the days just seem to pass her by

So she cries, she takes a pill

And then another, calls her mother

Mother, can you baby-sit tonight?

But would she scream her husband doesn't care

So many times she's wished she wasn't there

In the morning, does the washing up

The fish and chips the children left

She scrapes away into the bin

Four o'clock, the homeward schoolboys

They scream and shout a life they rule

She dreams of holidays and better things

She wished that she was alone

That she could have a life of her own

So she sits alone in the park

She wishes she could run away

But deep inside she knows she never will

She dreams of living in the country

With a garden full of daffodil's

For now, a box on the window sill

She wished that she was alone

That she could have a life of her own

That she could have a life of her own
