Precious One

Richard Thompson


Precious One, Precious One 
Thought you stood so sweet upon your own two feet 
Precious One, Precious One 
Thought there was no breeze could bring you to your knees 
But I was wrong 

Precious One, Precious One 
Should have been a light to guide you through the night 
Precious One, Precious One 
Wanted to believe you had no need to grieve 
But I was wrong 

I was wrong, I was wrong 
Should have wrapped my arms 
Around you tight 
To say, I'm here 
What's done is done 
What's done is done 

Precious one, Precious one 
Wish there was a tide to bring me to your side 
Precious One, Precious One 
Didn't want to run or leave it all undone 
O I was wrong
