Tell me why the blind man cries

 Oh, he sheds a tear because he just can't hear the children singing

How he used to fantasize

 Of standing next to some children who are doing singing

Ah! And the shoulders get colder and colder

 And his tears, and his tears fall on deaf ears... ooh

Falling a - p - art

At the seams and no-one seems to care

 You can't cry for - e - ver

Eileen wouldn't want you to, I swear

Now he's just an empty shell

 Oh, since Eileen died the other side seems so appealing

Compared to this living hell

 Oh, she haunts his sleep, his wounds too deep for any healing

Ah! With his arteries starting to harden

 She is gone! She is gone and it's all wrong!

Falling a - p - art

At the seams and no-one seems to care

 You can't cry for - e - ver

Eileen wouldn't want you to, I swear. So there.
