The time is right for leaving.
The sunshine clouds the rain.
Ophelia, don't you cry like that,
There's work across the mountain
And His eyes will watch you as you grow
He'll walk here in the snow,
His eyes will see me through the shade
You know the plans he's made
How could you leave me with
Ophelia, what's come over you?
What strange words for to say
I think I'll call the doctor
But if I don't start my leaving
I'll surely miss my train
Thanks for the lovely evening
And before you come again
His eyes will watch you as you go
He'll walk here in the snow,
His eyes will see me through the shade
You know the plans he's made
How could you leave me with
His eyes will watch me through the shade
You know the plans he's made
How could you leave me with
Oh, could you leave me with his eyes?
