This might be a double definition.

'weep' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'cast off?' is the second definition.

'tears as you' is the link.

(Other definitions for shed that I've seen before include "Simple building; discard" , "Abandoned" , "Get rid of -- moult" , "warehouse" , "Outhouse -- cast" .)
