When There's No One Around / Will The Circle Be Unbroken

WHEN THERE'S NO ONE AROUND / WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

When There's No One Around 

This is the song that nobody knows 
I couldn't begin to describe how it goes 
But it makes me cry and laugh right out loud 
It's the song I sing when there's no one around 

This is the man that nobody sees 
He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me 
And if he learned how to fly he'd never touch down 
It's the man I am when there's no one around 

It's four in the morning, I'm lying in bed 
With a tape of my failures playing inside my head 
The hardknocks and heartaches, things I don't know 
I listen and wonder, where will it go? 

This is aglimpse of the child within 
He's so immature but he's still my best friend 
He's just one of the boys who gets lost in a crowd 
It's the kid I am when there's no one around 

This is the dance I do everyday 
I let my soul lead and it takes me away 
And it leads my steps to higher ground 
It's the dance I do when there's no one around 

Will The Circle Be Unbroken 

I was standing by my window 
On a cold and cloudy day 
When I saw that undertaker 
For to carry my mother away 

Well I told that undertaker 
Undertaker please rive slow 
For the lady you are hauling 
Lord I hate to see that woman go 

Will the circle be unbroken 
By and by Lord by and by 
There's a better home awaiting 
By and by Lord by and by 

Well I followed close behind them 
I tried to stand up and be brave 
But I could not hold back my sorrow 
When they laid her in the grave 
Will the circle be unbroken 
By and by Lord by and by 
Please tell me there's a better home awaiting 
In the sky Lord in the sky 

I went back home but my home was lonesome 
Since my mother, she was gone 
All my brothers and sisters crying 
Lord what a home so sad and lonesome
