This weakening noise will fade softly to silence [Chorus] And the battle goes on And the love that you felt Will be here when you are gone And the songs that you sung And the words that you meant Will be here when you are gone And the battle goes on And the love that you felt Will be here when you are gone And the songs that you sung And the hurt that you felt Will be here when you are gone [Bridge] Outside of mind, the loneliness, I stay awake As the light of people make a change of space
(Gone) Gone now, I never feel the ache The drifts of salt are tasting off my face The night disturbs the wonderful wild [Chorus] And the battle goes on And the love that you felt Will be here when you are gone And the songs that you sung And the words that you meant Will be here when you are gone And the battle goes on And the love that you felt Will be here when you are gone And the songs that you sung And the hurt that you felt Will be here when you are gone
