【民谣摇滚】The Palace Of Versailles - Al Stewart
创作歌手的黄金时代是在上世纪六七十年代，民谣和流行摇滚互相繁衍和杂交的时期。鲍勃•迪伦无疑是Folk Rock的先锋，他直接影响了许多同时代的音乐人，投身于这股风潮。
苏格兰民谣歌手阿尔•史都华(Al Stewart)在70年代的英国民谣领域独树一帜。他的歌曲以叙事性和想象力取胜，主题总也离不开自省、敏感、浪漫和忏悔；其特有的知性与从容，使你如同沐浴在伦敦的菲菲细雨之中。
《The Palace Of Versailles》
The wands of smoke are rising
From the walls of the Bastille
And through the streets of Paris
Runs a sense of the unreal
The Kings have all departed
There servants are nowhere
We burned out their mansions
In the name of Robespierre
And still we wait
To see the day begin
Our time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
Inside the midnight councils
The lamps are burning low
On you sit and talk all through the night
But there＇s just no place to go
And Bonaparte is coming
With his army from the south
Marat your days are numbered
And we live hand to mouth
While we wait
To see the day begin
Our time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
The ghost of revolution
Still prowls the Paris streets
Down all the restless centuries
It wonders incomplete
It speaks inside the cheap red wine
Of cafe summer nights
Its red and amber voices
Call the cars at traffic lights
Why do you wait
To see the day begin
Your time is wasting in the wind
Wondering why
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
Wondering why, it echoes
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
