Franny takes the wash out, and hangs it on the line.
Factories in the background but her lungs are doing fine.
Stares up at a bright blue sky she knew another day.
Hanging sheets & pillowcases, bleach takes out the clay.

Sinatra on the radio and money in a jar,
One day she's going to Hollywood so she can be a star.
Momma thinks that she should stay and Dad says she can go.
But Daddy had a lot to drink, his words they come out slow.

The war is nearly over & the men are coming back.
Franny wants to see the shore, her bags already packed.
So every day the laundry comes & she will scrub them clean.
Put her nickles in the jar, so she can live her dream.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.
