Taken from the album Wayward Son

lyrics

Precious And Rare

These dusty streets are bright and cheap, our pockets picked of life’s beliefs
and if we find something to share, treat it as if precious and rare

I can’t believe I’d found a gem or that good luck would call again
and I would say a lover’s prayer, that you would stay precious and rare

And if you said our time had come, I would obey and pledge upon
Each every wish and word you’d say, until they’d fade away

And if we find a deep despair, treat it as if precious and rare

I should have seen it in your eyes, I was too slow to realise
That beauty lay upon your skin, but not within

I sleep in sheets of bitter rage as time tears up another page
Awake alone and tears were there, I watched them fall precious and rare
But fools like me are going spare, we’ll never be precious and rare
