A Brighter Dawn Awaiting

Verse 1:
By the window, cold and lonely,
Steel's bite cuts through the night,
Watched the world grow dim and shadowed,
As that black hearse fades from sight.

Chorus:
Will the circle hold together,
In the by and by, oh, by and by,
There’s a brighter dawn awaiting,
In the sky, in the sky.

Verse 2:
No more footsteps greet the morning,
No more songs to brighten day,
But her spirit’s softly soaring,
Where the angels dance and play.

Verse 3:
I'm a wanderer, filled with sorrow,
Troubles find me every day,
Left my home in old Kentucky,
Where my heart would always stay.

Chorus:
Will the circle hold together,
In the by and by, oh, by and by,
There’s a brighter dawn awaiting,
In the sky, in the sky.
