YOU SAY THAT THE BATTLE IS OVER

JOHN DENVER

Tonalité :

And you s ay that the battle is o - ve r finally the war is all do ne

Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose who run from the sound of the g un

And w rite it on the sides of the g reat whaling s hips

or on ice floes where conscience is t ossed

With the wild in their eyes it is t hey who must die

and w e who must measure the l oss

And you s ay that the battle is o - ve r finally the world is at pe ace

You mean no one is dying and mothers don't weep or it's not in the papers at l east

There are t hose who would deal in the d arkness of l ife

There are those who would tear down the s un

And most men are ruthless but s ome will still weep

When the g ifts we were given are g one

For the b lame cannot fall on the h eads of a f ew

it's become such a part of the r ace

It's eternally tragic that which is magic

be killed at the end of the glorious c hase

They will fall just like weeds in the w ind

With fur coats and perfumes and t rophies on walls

What a h ell of a race to call m en

And you s ay that the battle is o ver f inally the war is all d one

Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose who run from the sound of the g un

And w rite it on the sides of the g reat whaling s hips

or on ice floes where conscience is t ossed

With the wild in their eyes it is t hey who must die

and w e who must measure the l oss

With the wild in their eyes it is t hey who must die

and w e who must measure the c ost
