Battle Vs. The War

Enemy lines draw the same time

Who will I?

Give it all back, fade it to black

And watch it die

Oh you never see it coming

You just wave it goodbye

Then it's gone

So I'll sing us down the river

We'll pick up and carry on

Even though we never really knew what for

Took a good long look at failure

Till I couldn't anymore

I won the battle

But we lost the war

Pictures of light taken at night

With you blurred out

Funny somehow I see you clear now

And hear the sounds

Of the trains at the station

Where I first picked you up

I let you down

So I'll sing us down the river

We'll pick up and carry on

Even though we never really knew what for

Took a good long look at failure

Till I couldn't anymore

I won the battle

But we lost the war

So I'll sing us down the river

We'll pick up and carry on

Even though we never really knew what for

Took a good long look at failure

Till I couldn't anymore

I won the battle

But we lost the war
