The Twelve Days of Butter – DAY 6

Today we hear one of the sweet love songs of the album, “What Old Woman”

 

Here is an interview with composer Nat Keefe about writing this song on a frosty morning in the Santa Cruz Mountains:

 

WHAT OLD WOMAN     Nat Keefe

What old woman will you be

I can imagine a grey-haired beauty

Years from now will you still look in wonder?

What old woman will you be

 

What old woman will you be

Will you have a man beside thee

Years from now will you still have affection

What old woman will you be

Will it’ve been a happy story

Years from now will you sit back and smile

What old woman will you be

 

What old man will I turn into

Will my back be strong will my eyes see true

Years from now will I still have my mission

What old man will I turn into

Will I still make tea for two

Years from now will I still have affection

What old man will I turn into

To live my life in service to you

This traveling man has finally paid his dues

What old man will I turn into

There’s no journey I would want to take without you

What old man will I turn into
