LYRICS:
Oh Johana
You looked like a ghost
Heading south of the border
Empty handed
You passed by me
As I stood out on the landing
Called, "Johana!"
But you barely turned your head.
What did you find out there?
Were you looking for your demons in the shadows?
Oh Johana, weren't you scared?

Didn't anybody tell you?
A lost soul ain't broke.

I used to watch you as a child
Chasing bees and butterflies
Had this glimmer in your eye
That made my heart ache
Over the years I've watched you dim
Watched your head hang from your shoulders
Watched you shoe gaze all your day away, Johana.

Didn't anybody tell you?
A lost soul ain't broke.

They found your little body
In the woods after the rains
The paper's all read,
"TAKEN BY THE WOLVES"
But I knew then as I know now
You were long dead before the dogs came
So how'd you do it?
How'd you take your life Johana?
There was so much I could have said
I could have brought you in for tea
And told you, "Being young is hard for everyone Johana."

Didn't anybody tell you?
Didn't anybody tell you?
Why I didn't I tell you?
A lost soul ain't broke.
