[] When I get even []  more old [] than I am now []
[] I'll have a house []  overlooking [] the water []
[] I'll read all the books []  that I never []  got 'round []  to
[] And pile my [] suitcases []  up in the [ ]corner
cho.
[] The lights of the [] city they [] blink off and on [] again
[] Names in my [] memory are [] there, then they're [] gone again
[] Albums of [] photographs [] spread on the [] floor again
[] I'll spend my [] evenings with [] Katherine of [] Oregon
