[00:00.000]Slender Threads (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill
[00:16.112]I saw your picture in the Evening Standard
[00:22.782]You were wearing your battle dress
[00:30.561]I really must confess
[00:38.781]That I shed a silent smile for you
[00:44.911]It had really blown my mind and
[00:51.291]I wonder are you still so kind
[00:58.441]Are you still so pure
[01:04.111]There are other rhymes around here somewhere
[01:07.080]But I'm not too sure how they fit
[01:22.320]Jenny penny for your thoughts
[01:23.640]I wonder how you're thinking now;
[01:28.040]I hesitate to visualise;
[01:34.060]Our worlds are much too different
[01:37.189]That's a sign of the times but
[01:45.769]Time was when I read your cards
[01:50.997]And wrote the numbers when you in the dust;
[01:56.657]I can't remember what they were but anyhow
[02:01.107]I missed the cusp
[02:07.117]So so long and so goodbye
[02:12.717]Do you think I'd recognise you by
[02:15.746]Your hair or by your mind now
[02:23.706]Now we start out together
[02:29.106]But the paths all divide;
[02:34.366]When there are no more crossroads
[02:40.316]I open my eyes
[02:46.465]And find I'm walking on alone
[02:51.904]Through the snowy cold yes and
[02:57.734]I wonder if I'll make it through the night
[03:27.823]I'm an author and an actor too;
[03:33.721]You're a model in the zoo
[03:39.471]I'm just thinking on which side of the bars
[03:46.010]I'm looking through
[03:53.980]If I prophesied an avalanche
[03:58.819]Would you wait and call my bluff
[04:04.509]If I gave you just a little song
[04:10.199]Would that be enough
[04:14.779]To save your life
[04:20.679]Or is the knife already turning in my hand
