Al Stewart - Last Day Of The Century feat. Tori Amos

when the cock crows


and the wind blows


and the primrose of dawn


is at your windows


moving through the deep


you chase dreams across your sleep


scarecrows, waiting at your door





in the last days of the century


leaning from your balcony


you said this is how it's meant to be


can't you feel it in the air


see that light come shining down


all the way to chinatown


see it come from miles around


reflecting everywhere





you wore black clothes


you quoted shakespeare


you still make me shake


when you get this near


you look like a still from cecil b. demille


when i saw you waiting at my door





in the last days of the century


leaning from your balcony


you say changes come so rapidly


you can feel them in the air


whoever you pretend to be


you must face yourself eventually


in the last days of the century


who knows who we were





in the last days of the century


leaning from your balcony


you said this is how it's meant to be


can't you feel it in the air


see that light come shining down


all the way to chinatown


see it shine from miles around


reflecting everywhere
