San Simeon - Bryan Ferry
Walk up the driveway endlessly curving Go through the front door, it's so inviting Baronial great hall once so exciting Haunted by shadows faces in hiding Chair by the fire, I feel a tremor Silent reminder you used to be there You are the princess, my wand doth wake you Fantasy playmate candlelight lover Teasing in French lace, exotic promise So undemanding, yet understanding Each wall a picture some of his best work Delicate touches, they're simply charming Coffee table culture full color pages Props archetypal floral arrangement Stereogram cabinet, walnut veneer True reproduction no one can hear Tiger skin rug love I stroke you bite me Executive leather upholstered tightly Bar in the next room, cocktails at seven Soft lights, sweet music lounge through eleven Let's walk in the garden, French windows open Patio paving concrete and crazy Roses in blossom, they're doing well this year Geranium pattern shrub topiary Lie on your lush lawns, waterfall bubbles Drink at my fountain, forget all your troubles.
