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.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/carla_bruni/afternoon.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
