Lyrics
To the one-bedroom ghost on a street I don't know yet,
With the floorboards that sing in the Kansas City wet,
I'm picking the fabrics, I'm saving my thread
For the life that begins when the last child is put to bed.
[Chorus]
And I'll be happy there, I swear.
A happiness so loud it's a dare.
[Verse 2]
There’s a junk-shop window with good southern light,
I’ll hem velvet curtains to hold back the late August night.
You always said, "Billie, what will you do then?"

And I'll be happy there, I swear.
A happiness so loud it's a dare.

But a quilt's just a promise you can't see before.
[Chorus]
And I'll be happy there, I swear.
(My own chair, my own air)
A happiness so loud it's a dare.
(Finally there, finally there)
[Outro]
Just saving my needles. Just saving my thread.
