Lyrics All the Tiredness - Peter Hammill
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
treasure,
The
price
you
pay
for
simply
keeping
your
hand
in.
Hold
the
darkness
back
for
a
moment.
Hold
the
darkness
back
for
just
as
long
as
you
can.
So,
suddenly
very
slow,
Suddenly
can't
outrun
the
undertow.
No,
suddenly
I
don't
know
Anything
but
this
sense
of
letting
go.
Low,
down
to
the
ground
I
go,
Beaten
down
by
the
years
of
body
blows.
Though
I
made
it
through
the
shows
Something
got
left
behind,
a
debt
I
owe...
All
the
tiredness
Held
in
store
Saved
up
from
before
My
old
friend
Mounts
up
in
the
end
Wears
you
down
in
the
end
Mounts
up
in
the
end.
