Lyrics My Precious One - Andy Bell

My Precious One

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
