Elison Jackson - Thru the Trees Lyrics

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
