Letra de The Palace of Versailles de Al Stewart
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 there servants are nowhere
We burned out 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
Through the lonely palace of Versailles

The ghost of revolution still prowls the Paris streets
Down all the restless centuries it wonders 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
Through the lonely palace of Versailles

Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
