Kristin Hersh - Can The Circle Be Unbroken lyrics

rate me

(One, two)

I was standing

By the window

On a dark and cloudy day

When I saw the

Hearse come rolling

For to take my mother away

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Lord, I told the

Undertaker,

"Undertaker,

Please drive slow

For the body you are taking

Lord, I hate to see her go"

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I followed

Close behind her

Tried to hold up and be brave

But I could not

Hide my sorrow

When they laid her in the grave

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting

In the sky, Lord, in the sky

Can the circle be unbroken

By and by, Lord, by and by

There's a better home awaiting...
