Count Jefferey Lyrics - Singles - And Also The Trees

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 cockerels? 

Count Jefferey
