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 loves 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 years 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
