Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There, in that room
No one was talking
About the things really on their minds
Films, football and the weather
Whatever
Kept the wolves from the door
Kept the truth from hitting home
Everything but time was going slow
[Chorus]
Where do we go when we die?
Seeking proof, searching for signs
Where do we go when we die?
The sun may fall but the moon will rise
[Verse 2]
Weighing fortune, counting cost
You were rich in all you’d lost
But what’s the point of life
If we can never die?
You're on my mind, all the time
Weak men lie
Strong men cry
[Chorus]
Where do we go when we die?
The sun may fall but the moon will rise
[Verse 3]
To the sound of raindrops
To the ticking of the clock
We packed your clothes and your books
Took them to the charity shop
The old has ended and the new
Has begun
Sons become fathers, fathers become sons
And as the river flows back into the sea
Then so shall we
[Chorus]
Where do we go when we die?
Seeking proof, searching for signs
Where do we go when we die?
The sun may fall but the moon will rise
