In The End (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
I promise you I won't leave a clue:[00:00:59]
Tell-tale remark print from my shoe [00:01:10]
Still a steady trail to the water's edge[00:01:21]
I will keep my pledge to the end;[00:01:28]
I intend to go free[00:01:38]
No more rushing around no more travelling chess;[00:01:59]
I guess I'd better sit down you know I do need the rest[00:02:08]
Yes it's time to resign with equanimity and placidity[00:02:18]
From the game [00:02:26]
I can't explain[00:02:31]
I can't relate[00:02:35]
I done it all too late[00:02:43]
Now is the time for the commission to report;[00:03:08]
Till lately I thought: I'd been planted [00:03:11]
Trying hard to make it all come real [00:03:16]
Permission to feel is ungranted [00:03:20]
But now it's happening I'd like to keep it private if I can;[00:03:28]
Last words last look make a final stand [00:03:34]
Now my number's come up on the Pools [00:03:38]
Guess I'll board Titanic for a cruise [00:03:42]
Now is the time to make my status clear [00:03:47]
Too late I fear and lonely [00:03:51]
As friends and enemies traverse the stage [00:03:55]
All in a rage disown me [00:03:59]
And all the pip-props shatter into dust about my ears;[00:04:06]
Memory and conscience hope and fear [00:04:12]
As I crawl out further on the limb[00:04:16]
Something tells me I am crawling in[00:04:20]
To unknown prophecies and lives[00:04:22]
The rainbow's end is hemmed around with knives[00:04:31]
As I stand on the boards and the stage lights grow dim [00:04:59]
Shall I go out of doors or shall I maybe go in [00:05:09]
Have I reached the point when I should take my cue[00:05:21]
And follow you and your signs [00:05:27]
I can't remember my line[00:05:34]
At the prompter cat calls[00:05:37]
And the cards all fall[00:05:41]
In the strike[00:05:45]
All the pages are thin all the corners are curled [00:05:53]
Does the starshine fall in through my window on the world [00:06:01]
Or am I living our (the seeds of doubt) a chronicle of revenge [00:06:09]
The willow bends[00:06:22]
As do my hands[00:06:25]
Do your understand [00:06:29]
And will you still be my friend in the end [00:06:32]
When my mouth falls slack[00:06:40]
And I can't summon up another tune [00:06:47]
Shall I then look back and say[00:06:57]
I did it all[00:07:06]
Too soon[00:07:14]
