All Said and Done Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
All the words in the world
Wouldn't make you stay this evening;
Though I scrabble around for any I can say
So hard to take our leave
So hard to stop believing

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I guess we know this silence well enough
And you'll be going by and by;
I'm scared that anything I offer
Might be taken for a lie

[Chorus 1]
All said and done
And there's no way to make it any different
I hold my tongue as you're walking away
So goodbye comes –
Oh, I don't want to make it difficult
But nothing's easy when there's nothing left to say
(No, no, no, no, there's nothing left to say)

[Verse 2]
Now we only talk as though time were heavy weather (Talk, talk through time)
With a storm-cloud brewing on each hasty phrase... (I gave you (?))
All the words in the world wouldn't put us back together (All the words in the world will waste our time)
