[00:00:00] In The End (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:59] I promise you I won't leave a clue:

[00:01:10] Tell-tale remark print from my shoe

[00:01:21] Still a steady trail to the water's edge

[00:01:28] I will keep my pledge to the end;

[00:01:38] I intend to go free

[00:01:59] No more rushing around no more travelling chess;

[00:02:08] I guess I'd better sit down you know I do need the rest

[00:02:18] Yes it's time to resign with equanimity and placidity

[00:02:26] From the game

[00:02:31] I can't explain

[00:02:35] I can't relate

[00:02:43] I done it all too late

[00:03:08] Now is the time for the commission to report;

[00:03:11] Till lately I thought: I'd been planted

[00:03:16] Trying hard to make it all come real

[00:03:20] Permission to feel is ungranted

[00:03:28] But now it's happening I'd like to keep it private if I can;

[00:03:34] Last words last look make a final stand

[00:03:38] Now my number's come up on the Pools

[00:03:42] Guess I'll board Titanic for a cruise

[00:03:47] Now is the time to make my status clear

[00:03:51] Too late I fear and lonely

[00:03:55] As friends and enemies traverse the stage

[00:03:59] All in a rage disown me

[00:04:06] And all the pip-props shatter into dust about my ears;

[00:04:12] Memory and conscience hope and fear

[00:04:16] As I crawl out further on the limb

[00:04:20] Something tells me I am crawling in

[00:04:22] To unknown prophecies and lives

[00:04:31] The rainbow's end is hemmed around with knives

[00:04:59] As I stand on the boards and the stage lights grow dim

[00:05:09] Shall I go out of doors or shall I maybe go in

[00:05:21] Have I reached the point when I should take my cue

[00:05:27] And follow you and your signs

[00:05:34] I can't remember my line

[00:05:37] At the prompter cat calls

[00:05:41] And the cards all fall

[00:05:45] In the strike

[00:05:53] All the pages are thin all the corners are curled

[00:06:01] Does the starshine fall in through my window on the world

[00:06:09] Or am I living our (the seeds of doubt) a chronicle of revenge

[00:06:22] The willow bends

[00:06:25] As do my hands

[00:06:29] Do your understand

[00:06:32] And will you still be my friend in the end

[00:06:40] When my mouth falls slack

[00:06:47] And I can't summon up another tune

[00:06:57] Shall I then look back and say

[00:07:06] I did it all

[00:07:14] Too soon
