Heaven made a killing Well they're an angel more And we're an angel less Fate had made arrangements Playing a hand again Now the one I love's a mess Tell me mother when you cry Can she hear your sorrow sigh? Sister sleeping in the breeze You are all she ever sees Laid to rest in tears Rained in time for May But a year's not time enough If she falls I'll catch her And though I may be weak I will hold her up with love Tell me mother when you cry Can she hear your sorrow sigh? Sister sleeping in the breeze You are all she ever sees Tell me mother when you cry Can she hear your sorrow sigh? Sister sleeping in the breeze You are all she ever sees
