lyrics

To all those with an ear
He would read from his book
He was one of a kind
Kind of man, hard to find

In the morning he left
Worn out, anguished and sad
Do away with the Greeks
Flee away from his stead

Leo N. Tolstoy’s the name

Never lost in the woods
Two old trees was his maze
Never could tell apart
Shepherds from those who graze

Loved to stay in his hole
Never wrote no “Dead souls”
But instead took a wife
Making two parts a whole

Leo N. Tolstoy, don’t wait
Run before it’s too late

Leo N. Tolstoy’s the name
Leo N. Tolstoy’s the name
Leo N. Tolstoy’s the name

crystal-clear sound.
