And Also The Trees - Count Jefferey lyrics

For he is Count Jefferey For he is the servant of no man For he casts the shadow of fear For he is everywhere For he rides For he kicks For he takes For he leaves For he strides down the lime groves But sees only the road in front of him For he has done his duty You have done your duty Count Jefferey For he destroys For he gains For he takes For he hates And for he is the hated And for when he takes his prey He takes the lord's touch He counteracts the power of darkness For he counteracts the devil Who rides so briskly about his life But Jefferey you lack in spirit Hey Jefferey you are lacking in spirit Count Jefferey For he lies For he waits Open eyed and granite faced But what holds you from your sleep? Is it the gold clocks Or the nightingales you cannot hear Or the famine wolves outside your walls? Count Jefferey The portrait gallery is laughing Or is it the village babies crying? As the nightmare of life come true Where did you go That brought you screaming with the co*kerels? Count Jefferey
