Song language: English
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 |
