Quarter Acre Dream
There's a white weatherboard house in a nice part of town
Where the gardens meet and the lawns were mown
Where children play and come and go
The kitchen's small but large enough, there's a cast iron stove
With a fire inside so the kids are fed and sleep at night warm in their beds
It's the quarter acre dream I'm so happy I could scream so if you hear someone scream at night it's because they're happy
So it's alright
There's a toilet in the washhouse outside by the back porch
Winter's back too soon cold feet on the floor
But there's a lock upon the door
The trees grow taller every year blocking out the sky
I miss seeing stars falling down the stairs, tripping on mats slipping off chairs
It's the quarter acre dream
I'm so happy I could scream so if you hear someone scream at night it's because they're happy
So it's alright
It's the quarter acre dream I'm so happy I could scream and if you hear someone scream at night it's because they're happy
So it's alright
Where the gardens meet and the lawns were mown
Where children play and come and go
The kitchen's small but large enough, there's a cast iron stove
With a fire inside so the kids are fed and sleep at night warm in their beds
It's the quarter acre dream I'm so happy I could scream so if you hear someone scream at night it's because they're happy
So it's alright
There's a toilet in the washhouse outside by the back porch
Winter's back too soon cold feet on the floor
But there's a lock upon the door
The trees grow taller every year blocking out the sky
I miss seeing stars falling down the stairs, tripping on mats slipping off chairs
It's the quarter acre dream
I'm so happy I could scream so if you hear someone scream at night it's because they're happy
So it's alright
It's the quarter acre dream I'm so happy I could scream and if you hear someone scream at night it's because they're happy
So it's alright
