Afternoon
Carla Bruni

When I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With memory to share my bed


When I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With peace to share my fire


I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands

Beneath my laundered cap

And watch my cool and fragile hands

Lie light upon my lap


And I will have a sprigged gown

With lace to kiss my throat

I'll draw my curtain to the town

And hum a purring note


And I'll forget the way of tears

And rock and stir my tea


But oh how I wish those blessed years

Were further than they'd be


And I will have a sprigged gown

With lace to kiss my throat

I'll draw my curtain to the town

And hum a purring note


When I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With memory to share my bed


When I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With peace to share my fire

With peace to share my fire
