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
