Intro

today I found my soul
I felt it die inside of me
so I turn to you
life is like that, you know
    

Verse 1

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

Chorus

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 you tell me
who we are now, who we are
it's who we are now, who we are
where does time go now on a wake for young souls
like a lullaby we sing
    

Verse 2

well the wind that blows, it's blowing colder
and the child that grows she's growing older
and the friends we know they'll turn a shoulder
the friends we know they're all growing colder

Chorus 2

so 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
you tell me, who we are now, who we are
it's who we are now, who we are
whoa whoa now on a wake for young souls

Bridge

where's my soul?
where's my soul? where's my soul?
where's my soul? where's my soul? 

Verse 3

cycle of the moon brings blood to the woman and 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
(Arpeggio)
    

Verse 4

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 without tears
like the day you died I have laughter for these years

Chorus 3

so tell me who we are now, who we are
it's 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
it's who we are now, who we are
whoa no now on a wake for young souls

Ending

all the things we know
are going to fall away from me
like a grain of sand
slips through a good friend's hand
