[Verse 2] Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb You say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night He was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight
[Chorus] And there are no letters in the mailbox And there are no grapes upon the vine And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine, you tell 'em now (And there are no diamonds in the mine)
[Chorus] And there are no letters in the mailbox Oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine And there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in your mine
And there are no letters in the mailbox And there are no grapes upon the vine And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in your mine (And there are no diamonds in the mine) That's all I got to say

Appears to have been partially inspired by Habbakuk 3:17:
“Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”
