When I am old, and comforted,
And done with this desire,
With memory to share my bed
And peace to share my fire,
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/carla+bruni/afternoon_20678214.html ]
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
