Jeff Buckley - Will The Circle Be Unbroken Lyrics
(traditional)This is a traditional song. jeff performed it live at the club logo, hamburg, on february 22, 1995.I was standing by my windowOn a cold and cloudy dayWhen I saw the hearse come rollinFor to take my mother away.Will the circle be unbroken?By and by lord, by and by,Theres a better home a-waitinIn the sky lord, in the sky.I told the undertaker:Undertaker, please drive slow,For this body you are haulinLord, I hate to see her go.Will the circle be unbroken?By and by lord, by and by,Theres a better home a-waitinIn the sky lord, in the sky.Well I followed close behind her,Tried to hold up and be brave,But I could not hide my sorrowWhen they laid her in the graveWill the circle be unbroken?By and by lord, by and by,Theres a better home a-waitinIn the sky lord, in the sky.I went back home, my home was lonesome,Missed my mother she was gone.All my brothers and sisters cryingIn our home so sad and alone.Will the circle be unbroken?By and by lord, by and by,Theres a better home a-waitinIn the sky lord, in the sky.We sang the songs of childhood,Hymns of faith that made us strong,Ones that our mother had taught us,Hear the angels sing alongWill the circle be unbroken?By and by lord, by and by,Theres a better home a-waitinIn the sky lord, in the sky.
