Leather and Lace, original lyrics for a song for Return of Callisto
Leather and Lace: A song I wrote for Return of Callisto. I wrote this song using another penname, someone else's title, and someone else's image for someone else's characters to sing. And sorta ripped off, er, borrowed an idea from someone else's poem too. Gotta love it. *G* Sadly, the official canon did not allow X&G to grow old together, so this song, though very hopeful in itself, is always very sad to me. I really do love the thought of those two old women, kvetching and griping and arguing together forever! One loooong day in the lifetimes... *Sigh*
I may get around to posting an audio file of it...before I'm an old woman. No, wait, it's too late! *G* bama :)
Leather and Lace
When I am an old woman,
I shall wear...leather!
And ride bare on horseback.
And laugh without stopping
to feel the wind in my face.
When I am an old woman,
I shall wear leather.
And remember...
your face.
When I am an old woman,
I shall wear lace
and spend all of my days
dreaming memories of you.
When I am an old woman,
I shall wear lace and never wear leather.
And remember...
your face.
When I'm an old woman,
you'll be one too
and we'll go out doing
whatever old women do.
We'll laugh at the dark night
and cry in the sun.
Old woman, old woman,
you will be one.
Old, old woman,
I'll be one too.
Just two old women,
that's me and you.
