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
