All Your Young Servants

You live on your hill so high and so lonely
You toss out your bread crumbs to those down below
They think you’re a king but believe me it’s only
Because they’re too blind to know
There once was a time when your money had meaning
You diamonds had glitter but now it’s all gone
It poisoned your laughter and muffled your singing
You can’t even see that it’s wrong
Your castle is dingy and dirty and dismal
Your carpets are faded, your walls are all grey
There’s dust on your silver and cracks in your crystal
All your young servants have drifted away
So go back to your sadness, go back to your sorrow
And I’ll make my bed on a hill 'neath the sky
And lay here a-listening 'till the sun comes tomorrow
Counting the tears that you cry
Your castle is dingy and dirty and dismal
Your carpets are faded, your walls are all grey
There’s dust on your silver and cracks in your crystal
All your young servants have drifted away
