[Verse 1]
To thank you, jealous heart
I put you in the ground
The driver rides the rain
The trumpeter, he sounds
As blood is to the root, is silver to the crown
Take it as you may
My love has gone away

[Refrain 1]
Then it all comes to nothing
Then it all comes to nothing

[Verse 2]
To break you, jealous heart
I build to tear it down
The timber from the walls
The makeup from the clown
And dirt is to the grave as water to the drowned
So long to my slave
My wheel's beneath the waves

[Refrain 2]
Then it all comes to nothing
Then it all comes to nothing
