My Precious One - Andy Bell

If I lie awake

Wondering if it’s true love or obsessive mistake

Feel like another under the

Being shown this place

Can you absorb man I the tears

You say the devil is near you say the devil is me

Just don’t take to heart

That I only break hearts

Don’t hang on the words that I say

I’m in and out of my own tiny mind everyday

And if it’s ok I don’t think that will ever change

So take heed and take hearts

I wasn’t born clever I wasn’t born smart

Then I think of you night, dawn, day and dusk

And in my field of dreams I see us

And if there are truths that haunt me

Discarded dreams of could have beens

Equating scholar to clever

And reclusiveness to valor

Endless old friends asked me what is the matter

So take heed and take hearts

I wasn’t born clever I wasn’t born smart

Then I think of you night, dawn, day and dusk

And in my field of dreams I see us

It’s just the stuff of life that

I never never never quite got right

And at the dead end of this life

I realize that you were the love

The laughter and the lies

And so your work is done

In the odum of my life

You’re still my precious one

You’re still my precious one

You’re still my precious one
