Al Stewart - Last Days Of The Century Lyrics
When the cock crows
And the wind blows
And the primrose of dawn
Is at your windows
Moving through the deep
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

Al Stewart Last Days Of The Century Comments
I remember Al touring this song with Peter White and the full band. Awesome!
Why does this video have so few views?
That's because most guys are assholes.
The world tends to turn a blind eye to what is truly the best music.
because in the world few people have got soul
tori Amos did background vocals for this song! !!
Many fans of Al have told me that this is he at his finest moment.
Thank you for this good song
