[Verse 1]
Her name, engraved into the weathered stone
Almost faded, almost unknown
Her name whispered in the early dawn
Can be heard above the waves that crash
On and on and on
[Chorus]
But I hear you
But I hear you, Isobel
But I hear you
But I hear you, Isobel
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
Live on
[Verse 2]
What place if reason like the wildest of ways
Quick to rise and quick to fall by the icy sea
What face is looking out upon that strange land
Call it honoring on her right hand
[Chorus]
But I hear you
But I hear you, Isobel
But I hear you
But I hear you, Isobel
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
Live on
[Bridge]
Soft spots in the early sun rising
Such a cold wind, coming in fighting
Two hands and they're praying for lightning
On the edge just waiting for something
Soft spots in the early sun rising
Such a cold wind, coming in fighting
Two hands and they're waiting for lightning
On the edge now
[Chorus]
But I hear you
But I hear you, Isobel
But I hear you
But I hear you, Isobel
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
[Outro]
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
You're not gone
Isobel, live on
Live on
