I am thinking about the woman in a century of peace, | |
On a bright mosaic she is washing on her knees, | |
And she looks up at the black sky beyond the mountain tall, | |
She says, 'Oh good, the rain is finally going to fall today.' | |
This was Pompeii | |
And everyone has memories of the night that melted stone, | |
The neighbor's nightgown, the screaming on the phone, | |
And the tired man at the station says, 'We can't tell who's alive, | |
All we ever know is that the tourists survive.' | |
'Tra la, tra la,' they say, they say, | |
'Let's Go Pompeii.' | |
And I think about Pompeii when I feel an end is near, | |
Just before the rain and eveyr time you disappear, | |
And I think about a teacup, suspended and half served, | |
And all the scholars know is that it's perfectly preserved. | |
'Oh, oh,' that's all, they say, | |
'This was Pompeii.' | |
And as for my on kingdom, not a table leg was charred, | |
I simply lost my kingdom, 'cause I held it much too hard, | |
Once I had a sadness, the sadness turned to trust, | |
The trust turned into ashes and to lawyers and dust, | |
A century, a day, | |
This was Pompeii. |
