We wait outside her window
In the shadows of the street
I know you loved her dearly
But somebody took your seat
Call upon sleeping master
Thieves and lepers roam the town
The man who gave me nothing
Stole the daughter’s wedding gown
Takes a jealous hand to lead the blind
Takes a jealous mind to stay ahead
It’s the jealous will’s dark dead green eyes
But it’s the jealous heart to break the man
Trust me, I’m your honest man
No one else is as they seem
The devil’s dressed in golden
But your woman’s wearing green
“No one can love the drunkard”
Convincing yourself or me?
“You’re right” I tell you gently
All it takes is one small seed
Takes a jealous hand to lead the blind
Takes a jealous mind to stay ahead
It’s the jealous will’s dark dead green eyes
But it’s the jealous heart to break the man
It’s done her lights have gone out
Your sins still lie awakened
My shackles drip with cruel blood
The house all but forsaken
You played your part, you violin
Your hands still bearing regret
None left from their devices
In this tragedy I’ve set (aside)
Takes a jealous hand to lead the blind
Takes a jealous mind to stay ahead
It’s the jealous will’s dark dead green eyes
But it’s the jealous heart to break the man
