Let him weep, let him weep his fill,
For he is the wellspring, the eye of my will.
How can I cause him to weep,
How can I cause him to weep?
Pearls of tears, we strung throughout the night,
Pearls of tears, in endless, aching light.
For a faithless one, a love untrue,
We wept the night through, me and you.
Pearls of tears, we strung throughout the night,
Pearls of tears.
Lightning of memories, striking the mind,
Lightning of memories, leaving all behind.
Lost in thought, we lingered there,
Lost in thought, beyond compare.
We drifted, lost, the whole night through,
Pearls of tears, we strung, me and you.
Pearls of tears.
He said, hearing the story of my heart's plight,
He said, "Is this all, this endless night?"
"Is this all, this pain you bear?"
"Is this all, this weight you share?"
"Such a small thing," he said, and then,
"To weep the night through, again and again?"
Pearls of tears, we strung throughout the night,
Pearls of tears, in aching light.
For a faithless one, a love untrue,
We wept the night through, me and you.
Pearls of tears, we strung throughout the night,
Pearls of tears, in endless, aching light.
Pearls of tears.
