Thru the Trees

The river rats they are drowned and rising To the tops of trees where sound stands still And them river rats they don't mind dying They've been around with all their glasses filled I am leaving, oh leaving Up jumped the Devil and the priest I am through the trees, leaning on my knees I am leaving I am leaving I am gone Please lay all your brick dust in the doorway I am through with all your lies I must declare I must quit you honey, yes, today's okay But the summer sun does play upon your hair I am leaving, oh leaving Up jumped the Devil and the priest I am through the trees, leaning on my knees I am leaving I am leaving I am gone The Queen of Diamonds loves herself a joker He shot that woman down below he'll go I'm arriving, yes, to give them holy orders It's too bad that woman knows all she knows I am leaving, oh leaving Up jumped the Devil and the priest I am through the trees, leaning on my knees I am leaving I am leaving I am gone
