Dreaming of Leaving - Eleanor McEvoy

In her imagination

She's driving through the sunshine

To malibu

No children in the backseat

No husband at the wheel

No telling where she's going

Just followin' the highway

To where it leads

Dreamin' of leaving

That's all it is

She is

Dreamin' of something

More than this

She looks out of her window

Water from the dishes

Running down the drain

Clouds on the horizon

Reflections of the pane

Serve only to remind her

Of how it is and how it might have been

Dreamin' of leaving

That's all it is

Dreamin' of something

More than this

She is

Dreamin' of leaving

But

That's all it is

She is

Dreamin' of something

More than this

She's standin' on the corner

The suitcase in her hand

Filled with promises

And

It's not about unfaithful

It's not about unkind

It's just some words they're missing

Some other words they left somewhere behind

She is

Dreamin' of leaving

But

That's all it is

She is

Dreamin' of something

More than this

She is

Dreamin' of leaving

But

That's all it is

Dreamin' of something

More than this
