Sister called again today Said she was tired of living this way Her days are all the same She said, I take the children to the park At nights I sit home in the dark While my husband's working late Yes, he loves me, but look at you You see the world, you make the news When we were young, we'd share our dreams But dreams aren't always what they seem To be, I guess No, Life's not the fairytale, we thought it'd be Though he gives me everything a man can give I want to live, for a little while Like a gypsy, she said, with a smile And fly away Listen girl, I understand But dreams are all in your command Just waiting there for you When days pass and we're alone We think of things in life undone There so much left to do Yes, it's true, I get around But we all have our ups and downs Forget the beauty we possess And think of what we have as less It's true, I guess No, Life's not the fairytale, we thought it'd be Though he gives me everything a man can give I want to live, for a little while Like a gypsy, she said, with a smile And fly away
