Tenderness by Peter Hammill Lyrics

Nothing I can say, but this much I can do:
If you want I'll stay and be with you
Just let the tears flood down and, yes
I can offer you tenderness

What is gone is gone, it can be no more
So we must move along and close the door
I'm not his match, this I confess –
But still I offer you tenderness
No more, no less:
I can offer you tenderness

He'll stay with you, I know...
(now's the time to)
Remember and let go

Life will turn around though now it's growing dim
Although you feel the light's gone out with him
Cry out all your tears, you loved him best –
Still I offer you tenderness
No more, no less;
Deep in your distress
I'm here to offer some tenderness
I'm here to offer you tenderness
All I can offer's tenderness
Remember and let go
