Labour of Love Songtext
von Peter Hammill & The K-Group

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 passion?
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.
