Can The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics - Singles - Kristin Hersh

(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...
