Afternoon

When I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With memory to share my bedWhen I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With peace to share my fireI'll comb my hair in scalloped bands

Beneath my laundered cap

And watch my cool and fragile hands

Lie light upon my lapAnd I will have a sprigged gown

With lace to kiss my throat

I'll draw my curtain to the town

And hum a purring noteAnd 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 beAnd I will have a sprigged gown

With lace to kiss my throat

I'll draw my curtain to the town

And hum a purring noteWhen I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With memory to share my bedWhen I am old and comforted

And done with this desire

With peace to share my fire

With peace to share my fire
