Al Stewart - The Palace Of Versaillos(34 visits)

The wands of smoke are rising from the walls of the Bastille

and through the streets of Paris Runs a sense of the unreal

The kings have all departed Their servants are nowhere

We burned out all their mansions In the name of Robespierre

And still we wait To see the day begin

Our time is wasting in the wind Wondering why

wondering why, it echoes through the lonely palace of Versailles

Inside the midnight councils the lamps are burning low

on you sit and talk all through

the night but there's just no place to go

and Bonaparte is coming with his army from the south

marat your days are numbered and we live hand to mouth

while we wait to see the day begin

our time is wasting in the wind wondering why

wondering why, it echoes throught the lonely palace of Versailles

The Ghost of revolution still prowls the Paris streets

down all the restless centuries it wanders incomplete

it speaks inside the cheap red wine of cafe summer nights

its red and amber voices call the cars at traffic lights

why do you wait to see the day begin

your time is wasting in the wind wondering why

wondering why, it echoes throught the lonely palace of Versailles

wondering why, it echoes throught the lonely palace of Versailles
