11. San Simeon

(Ferry/Stewart)

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

San Simeon 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

Tiger skin rug love I stroke you bite me
Executive leather upholstered tightly
Bar in the next room cocktails at seven
Soft light 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
Forget all your troubles
Forget all your troubles
