lirik lagu al stewart - the palace of versailles
[verse 1]
the wands of smoke are rising
from the walls of the bastille
and through the streets of paris
runs a sense of the unreal
[verse 2]
the kings have all departed
there servants are nowhere
we burned out their mansions
in the name of robespierre
[chorus]
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
[verse 3]
inside the midnight councils
the lamps are burning low
oh you sit and talk all through the night
but there’s just no place to go
[verse 4]
and bonaparte is coming
with his army from the south
marat your days are numbered
and we live hand to mouth
[chorus]
while 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
[verse 5]
the ghost of revolution
still prowls the paris streets
down all the restless centuries
it wonders incomplete
[verse 6]
it speaks inside the cheap red wine
of cafe summer nights
its red and amber voices
call the cars at traffic lights
[chorus]
why do you wait
to see the day begin
your time is wasting in the wind
wondering why
wondering why, it echoes
through the lonely palace of versailles
[outro]
wondering why, it echoes
through the lonely palace of versailles
