| Song | Tenderness |
| Artist | Peter Hammill |
| Album | Everyone You Hold |
| 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. |
| 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. |
