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
