When I grow old will I braid my hair
Or will it be curls and white?
Will my voice shake like a paper lantern in the wind
Or will I just sigh?
Will I sit in an ivy garden
Or in a room up high?
Will I still wear my mother's locket
With a picture of my father inside?
She dreamed in black and white
She dreamed in black and white
She dreamed in black and white
She dreamed in black and white
When I grow old will I sleep with the light on
Or will darkness finally be kind?
Will I sleep with the TV on
Bathed in its flickering light?
Will I sit in an ivy garden
Or in a room up high?
Will I still wear my mother's locket
With a picture of my father inside?
Will I dream in black and white?
Will I dream in black and white?
Will I dream in black and white?
Will I dream in black and white?
When I grow old will I braid my hair
Or will it be curls and white?
Will my voice shake like a paper lantern
Or will I just sigh?
