This Was Pompeii

This Was Pompeii - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

I am thinking about the woman in a century of peace[00:00:19]

On a bright mosaic she is washing on her knees[00:00:25]

And she looks up at the black sky beyond the mountain tall[00:00:29]

She says "Oh good the rain is finally going to fall"[00:00:36]

Today[00:00:45]

This was Pompeii[00:00:52]

Everyone has memories from the night that melted stone[00:01:06]

The neighbors nightgown the screaming on the phone[00:01:11]

And the tired man at the station says "We can't tell who's alive[00:01:15]

All we ever know is that the tourists survive"[00:01:21]

"Tra la tra la let's go" they say[00:01:29]

"Let's go Pompeii"[00:01:39]

And I think about Pompeii when I feel an end is near[00:01:51]

Just before the rain and every time you disappear[00:01:57]

And I think about a teacup suspended and half served[00:02:01]

And all the scholars know is that it's perfectly preserved[00:02:07]

"Oh oh that's all" they say[00:02:12]

"This was Pompeii"[00:02:24]

And as for my on kingdom not a table leg was charred[00:02:44]

I simply lost my kingdom 'cause I held it much too hard[00:02:49]

Once I had a sadness the sadness turned to trust[00:02:54]

The trust turned into ashes and to lawyers and dust[00:02:59]

A century a day[00:03:07]

This was Pompeii[00:03:16]

This was Pompeii[00:03:26]

Oh oh oh oh oh hmm[00:03:35]
