In times of hell, In times of sun
You journeyed with me, My precious one.
Far stretched the road I found you on.
We walked together arm in arm.
Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun.
You were my treasure, my dearest one.
Oh, shiny eyes, right were you stand.
You were my own, I was you're man.
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise,
You're still my one.
Now lives are shaken, hearts are changed.
You touched them all, you knew their names.
You helped the weak, the poor, the meek.
And selfish treasure, you didn't seek.
Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun.
You were my treasure, my dearest one.
Oh, shiny eyes, right were you stand.
You were my own, I was you're man.
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise,
You're still my one.
Alas, my dear, I miss you.
These thousand miles they burn through my soul.
Hold on my dear, just one more day.
You haggard boy is coming back home, he's coming back home
And now in death, I bid farewell.
A song to sing, you're story I'll tell.
But I can't bear to see you dear.
Your shiny eyes no longer here.
Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the stars.
Now lay in death's eternal arms.
Oh, shiny eyes, stare back through me.
Now resting at your father's feet.
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise,
Oh shiny eyes, You're still my one.
Oh, shiny eyes, to my surprise,
Oh shiny eyes, you're still my one.
