Jeff buckley will the circle be unbroken lyrics

This is a traditional song.

Jeff performed it live at the Club Logo, Hamburg, on February 22, 1995. 



I was standing by my window

On a cold and cloudy day

When I saw the hearse come rollin'

Uh, to take my mother away. 



Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by Lord, by and by,

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky Lord, in the sky. 



Well I told the undertaker:

"undertaker, please drive slow,

for that lady that you're haulin'

Well, I hate to see her go".



Will the circle be unbroken?

Well by and by and by and by..

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky Lord, in the sky. 



I will follow close behind her,

Try to hold her and be brave,

But I could not hide my sorrow

When they laid her in her grave



Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by Lord, by and by,

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky Lord, in the sky. 



Will the circle be unbroken?

By and by Lord, by and by,

There's a better home awaitin'

In the sky Lord, in the sky.
