MY PRECIOUS LOVE

I look at your face Dirty as the ground And I look at your hands Waving all around I feel your chemicals And all you say is wrecked About the way I am About what I protect And I want to see through The shadow to the truth Of what we have to say I think it’s time to pray My precious love I’d give you Everything I had if I only Had more of myself to give around Can we beat the noise Of traffic into dust The kind we only fear When feathers fail to trust You reach out like a claw To scratch away my face And lead me to a ghost A shadowless disgrace And I wish that I could see The way you look in blue The ocean for a dress The kind I’d sew for you My precious love I’d give you Everything I had if I only Had more of myself to give around Baby baby crazy things are comin’ over you Why you gotta make me cry Why you gotta hide and then lie Maybe, maybe, maybe, we are gonna suffer too much Until there’s nothing else we can touch Without love burning... Maybe we are gonna suffer too much Without love, without love, tell me what is Tell me what is precious, what is precious…
