About Me



These words I wrote,play and sing for you do not convey the love I brought and bring to you. For this is a song for while I..m away to say all things, I..d love to say. You are my life, my everything. You..re all I have you are my hopes, my dreams my world come true. Your all I have please heed me now, these words I have to say. Now I..m headed for the border, you see this song ends right at the start. I swore when I was younger, no one would win my heart. And far away hills look greener still, but soon they..ll all slip away, it..s then I..ll be returning and I..ll be coming home to stay

Books:

When I am an old Woman I shall wear Purple with a Red Hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my Pension on Brandy and Summer gloves and Satin sandles, and say we've no money for Butter. I shall sit down on the Pavement when I'm tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells. And run my stick along the Public Railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my Slippers in the rain and pick the Flowers in other peoples Gardens, and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat and eat three pounds of Sausages at a go,or only Bread and Pickle for a week. And hoard Pens and Pencils and Beermats and things in boxs.
But now we must have Clothes that keep us dry and pay our Rent and not swear in the street. And set a good example for the Children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now! So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised when suddenly I am old, and start to wear PURPLE.
