Wake for Young Souls
Today I found my soul
I felt it die inside of me
So I turn to you
Life is like that you know
I have your face in a photo in high school when you were alive but that's all I have
And I can't remember who I was myself then and it doesn't help still I look to you as a friend to tell me
Who we are now, who we are
Who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on a wake for young souls
Who we are now, who we are
Who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on a wake for young souls
Like a lullaby we sing
Well the wind that blows its blowing colder and the child that grows she's growing older
And friends we know they'll turn a shoulder
The friends we know they are growing colder
Who we are now, who we are
Who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on a wake for young souls
Who we are now, who we are
Who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on a wake for young souls
Where's my soul
Cycle of the moon brings blood to the women
In the blood of the woman brings birth of a child
Child grow up
Keep forgetting something
Birth of a child comes someplace wild you
Even grey days beat the shade to wean
Unbodied unsouled unheard unseen
Let the gift be grown in the time to call our own
Let the truth be sewn before the window's closing
Truth is natural like a wind that blows
Follow the direction no matter where it goes
So it shall be the earth and the sea
Let the truth blow like a hurricane through me
If I've been cold, if I've spoken in anger, to have been bold, forgive me
You know I don't see your mother, not like before, though she hasn't forgotten she doesn't like to be reminded anymore.
Annie got married it didn't come with out tears like the day you died I have laughter for these years
Who we are now, who we are
Who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on a wake for young souls
Who we are now, who we are
Who we are now, who we are
Where does time go now on a wake for young souls
All the things we know are going to fall away from me like a grain of sand slips through a good friends hand
