Pale And Precious - Lyrics by Xtc


Lyrics
So pale and precious is the light that will shine

Out of the windows in her head

So pale and precious like the sun as it climbs

Up every morning on her bed


If all of her moments were put down in a book

Then I could read it 'til I went blind

If all of the tears she cried flowed into a brook

Well than I'm sure it would taste like wine

Don't care what the others might say

As far as I'm concerned they can all fall apart

Fade away


So pale and precious is the light that will shine

Out of her perfumed golden hair

So pale and precious are the steps that I climb

Up to her room so bright and bare


If all of the things she said were flowers and tress

Well then her garden would always be green

If all of our time together fell on one day

It would be like every Christmas there's been


Don't care what the others might say

As far as I'm concerned they can all fall apart

Fade Away


Up she rises each and every morning

She blows the stars out of the sky

And lights the sun with her bright eyes


The smell of the pinecones

And the sea in her hair
