1. O weeping eye, your solace
And your tears, they come in waves

2. You were my darling, the light of my face
With you, life was sweet

3. But now I've lost you in my lifetime
The beloved companion has left me

4. All friends must one day
Part ways and go their separate roads

5. Peace be upon this world, for what is left
For a blind old man here but sorrow

6. Man dies still thinking he'll live
His hopes belie him with lies

7. The doctor promises my eyes will heal
But none can heal them save God

8. When one part of you dies, let another weep
For parts of one whole are close kin
