Letra de la canción 'THIS WAS POMPEII' de 'DAR WILLIAMS'

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, andquot;oh good, the rain is finally going to fall today.andquot;
this was pompeii.
And everyone has memories of the night that melted stone
the neighbourand's nightgown, the screaming on the phone
and the tired man at the station says, andquot;we canand't tell whoand's alive
all we ever know is that the tourists survive.andquot;
andquot;tra la, tra la,andquot; they say, they say
andquot;letand's go pompeii.andquot;
And as for my own kingdom, not a table leg was charred
i simple lost my kindgom cos 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.
