Peter Hammill - Labour of Love lyrics

You don't remember all the things I've done; You never catch the careful words I choose; Your present will not admit my patient efforts... It's a labour of love I offer to you Unselfishness, does that hold the space between us? A helplessness, a nothing-left-to-prove? A silence more eloquent than any pa**ion? It's a labour of love I offer to you... It's a labour of love It's a gift of love Take this hand and you will hold its stories; Beat, the heart, and find the tell-tale truth; Take this gift: – receipt will give it value It's a labour of love I offer to you It's a labour of love It's a gift of love
