Andy Bell - My Precious One lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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
