Lyrics Precious Cargo - Barbara Dickson, Paul Young

Precious Cargo

Precious cargo, this is as far as the boat can go
It’s a secret destination far below
Say goodbye now, you’ll never know how much we lied for you
Took you deep inside your bed
And leave you there as if we care
This baby never sleeps
No this baby never sleeps
It lies in the dark with one eye open
Watching the world go down
Oh, this precious cargo
Oh, is gonna lie here forever
'Till you pay this precious cargo
Is gonna cost you forever and ever and ever
Tell your daughter look underwater for your legacy
For the power and the glory couldn’t see mortality
This baby never sleeps
No, this baby never sleeps
It lies in the dark with one eye open
Watching the world go down
What is it worth to be lord of the Earth when you love
The child we created has grown to regain it’s own birth
This baby never sleeps
No, this baby never sleeps
It lies in the dark with one eye open
Watching the world (watching the world)
So precious
So precious
(TO FADE)
