All Your Young Servants Lyrics - For The Sake Of The Song - Townes Van Zandt

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 gray 

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 'til the sun comes tomorrow 

Counting the tears that you cry
