Peter Hammill piosenki

All the words in the world Wouldn't make you stay this evening; Though I scrabble around for any I can say, So hard to take our leave, So hard to stop believing. I guess we know this silence well enough, And you'll be going by and by; I'm scared that a...

All the tiredness that you've held in waiting, In abeyance, Now comes rushing in. Floods the bloodstream, burrows in the brainstem, Grinds down bone-deep, The exhaustion's stored from way back when. All the tiredness you've postponed forever, Buried tr...

Always and a day We swore in common vow That tomorrow we would stay The same as now, The same as now. In every future verb We deny our own "Until"; This the promise that we serve - We have time to kill: I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I wil...

'll met, ill starred, the sweat, the scars, The back seat of the car, caught up in the sex, The ties that bind, his thoughts, her mind, Why something doesn't connect... The rush, the drool, his push, her pull, The slushy gender pool, survive and protect. Ill m...

I can't think of anything I did or was doing, I can't seem to get a hold on what's come to pass, Here with half a mind on something else And half a finger in the glass, Since you ask. I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be going: In the end every journ...

Always we're too young to understand that life is neither cruel nor fair, at random or well-planned. So we stride along the shoreline while our footprints in the sand are washed away and then say "Can I begin again?" But where you come from's who you'v...

Here's a sensation I wouldn't trade - Pinpoint in the onrush, Dancing to the rhythm of the wiper blades. Up ahead on the autobahn Headlights like a lava stream; Up ahead in the distance is where we're going, Where we will have been. Back in the motor,...

Wir fahren - was konnte schoner sein - Lichtpunkt in der Brandung. Scheibenwischerrhythmus ladt zum Tanzen ein, Lichterketten der Autobahn, Lavaheller Gegenwind. Immer bleibt in der Ferne, was wir sein werden, Je gewesen sind. Wieder im Wagen, nichts w...

So here we are, alone - Our children have grown up and moved away. Living their own lives, they say... It all seems very strange to me. I don't understand their ways: Our children amaze me all the time And I often wonder why they make me feel So sad an...

Words upon words Stack the tower of Babel Brick on brick on straw on clay But a whispering stirs And the structure's unstable When all the scaffold's stripped away. We're ever quick to aver That we are ready and able But we can't say what's coming, com...

And when you feel you can't go on what kind of laurels do you look to? Sometimes we get what we want, sometimes we take a good hook too. Once you thought you were so strong...some young pretender came and shook you. Now there's a lesson to be learned: we must...

Been alone so long that I've forgotten what it's like to feel somebody next to me and hear her breathing peacefully when I wake up at night. Been alone so long that I've forgotten what to say - if I meet somebody who might easily resemble you I smile...

You're helpless, entranced by the magical Touch of her skin against yours, adrift - What else is there but this? It feels so sweet To fall asleep Beside the one you love. Remember this fireside, this quiet room, Embers now flickering their last, like g...

When I began I was full of altruistic dreams, believed in princes and princesses, kings and queens - now I find they're all human inside, all bitterness and pride, so why shouldn't I be like that too? It seems that I've forgotten all I tried so hard to learn;...

I've got something to say, And it ain't the usual sort of sob-story That you hear every day. I've got something to ask, And I know that now's the time, Now all the rooms of the party are dark. Proffer me the candy, Yes, I understand is fine; Blow anoth...

Here's the edge, This is the moment When all the fear floods in apace. Time to clear my head, My demeanour emboldened, Of trepidation betray no trace. Time to put on my bravest face. Quite the nine-stone weakling, Who am I trying to kid That I can ca...

The visitors find the children gone from school: Aged relatives sling their guns across the desks... There'll be no break-time for them unless They talk about tomorrow As though it's already on its way. Amen, oh yes, they're Waiting for the breakthrough,...

Let's begin at the top: There's no reason to think that this will ever stop, So let's go back and start again; In this finite uncertainty we'll circle round and then Sail a craft of self-conviction Across tomorrow-never-knows Where the surface stays unru...

Oh, spit it out, there's no way we'll see eye to eye - My simple truth is your warped confusion; As off different planets we spin eccentric jive. I don't remember what I said I don't think you do either. Slippery of tongue though you claim my speech may...

When you're fingered by self-doubt, my dear, No-one is innocent or guilty. Chained, your reaction when you're on the spot: The flower of faith is wilting. But if there's something that you've left behind There'll be something else upcoming... Make what y...
