Paper Lantern

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?
