There was a time I fell into
A faded portrait of my father in his youth
Both arms were locked down by his side
Standing tall, dressed for the fight

A wandering wolf in the winter
His fortune, the son of a soldier
A shot through the sky like a whisper
A life here and gone like a vapor
And, oh, it was hard to watch you
It was hard to watch you go
It was hard to watch you

In my reflection I see a face
Familiar features of a soul I can't erase
Deep in the hollow I hold his name
Standing tall, one and the same

A wandering wolf in the winter
His fortune, the son of a soldier
A shot through the sky like a whisper
A life here and gone like a vapor
And, oh, it was hard to watch you
It was hard to watch you go
It was hard to watch you
It was hard to watch you go

Washed away with the wind
You were lifted above us
Over us
Ushered up with the tears
Clouds were parted above us
Over us
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
A wandering wolf in the winter
His fortune, the son of a soldier
A shot through the sky like a whisper
A life here and gone like a vapor
Oh, it was hard to watch you
It was hard to watch you go
It was hard to watch you
It was hard to watch you go
