San Simeon

(Bryan Ferry/David A Stewart)

Intro: Gm D# Cm D

Gm

Walk up the driveway

Endlessly curving

D#

Go through the front door

It's so inviting

Cm

Baronial Great Hall

Once so exciting

D

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 wanders wake you

Fantasy playmate

Candle light lover

D# Gm

San Simeon

D# D

San Simeon

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 colour pages

Props archetypal

Floral arrangement

Stereogram cabinet

Walnut veneer

True reproduction

No one can hear

San Simeon

San Simeon

Tigerskin rug love

I stroke - you bite me

Executive leather

Upholstered tightly

In the next room

Cocktails at seven

Soft lights, sweet music

Lounge thru' eleven

Just 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 my lush lawn

Waterfall bubbles

Drink at my fountain

Forget all your troubles

Forget all your troubles

Forget all your troubles
