Quarter Acre Dream by The Hallelujah Bonnets Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
