[Verse 1] You left a taste of honey On the rim of my mind Sweet enough to haunt me After all this time I still find your perfume In the folds of my coat A small paper moon In a sinking boat [Pre-Chorus] So I let it wash Let the moment pass Some loves are sugar They don't ever last Still I hold the ache Like a candle's glow [Chorus] Life will go on, life will go on Dry your eyes, face the dawn Life will go on, life will go on Even when the love is gone (Go on) even when it's gone (Go on) face the dawn [Verse 2] Now the cup is empty But the table stays There are crumbs of laughter In the afterdays Your name on my tongue Like a sweet thin thread I can taste the ending Though it's long been said [Pre-Chorus] So I let it wash Let the moment pass Some loves are sugar They don't ever last Still I hold the ache Like a candle's glow [Chorus] Life will go on, life will go on Dry your eyes, face the dawn Life will go on, life will go on Even when the love is gone (Go on) even when it's gone (Go on) face the dawn [Bridge] I won't call it wasted If it made me kind If it left a soft place In the back of my mind You were too sweet Too bright to recall But the morning comes And it holds us all [Final Chorus] Life will go on, life will go on Dry your eyes, face the dawn Life will go on, life will go on Even when the love is gone (Go on) even when it's gone (Go on) face the dawn
