|
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 |
|
Then it all comes to nothing |
|
Then it all comes to nothing |
|
To break you, jealous heart, I build to tear it down |
|
The timber from the walls, the make-up 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 |
|
Then it all comes to nothing |
|
Then it all comes to nothing |
