[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Washed away with the wind
You were lifted above us
Over us
Ushered up with the tears
Clouds were parted above us
Over us

[Refrain]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Chorus]
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
