[Verse 1]

Your precious love, that means so much

Will it ever stop, or will I just lose touch

What I want to say, but my words just fail

Is that I need it so, I can't help myself

Like a hungry child, I just help myself

And when I'm all full up, I go out to play

Oww! Huh!


[Verse 2]

Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning

Quiet as the sea on a cool, calm night

In your tranquil shadow, I'll try and follow

I hear your distant shoe clicks, to the midnight beat

I feel trapped in sorrow, in this imagery

But that's how I am, why I need you so

Oww! Huh!


[Bridge]

But I don't mean to bleed you dry

Or take you over for the rest of your life

It's just that I need something solid in mine

Believe me, baby!


[Verse 3]

Your precious love, that means so much

Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch

What I want to say, but my words just fail

I hear your distant shoe clicks, to the midnight beat

I feel trapped in sorrow, in this imagery

But that's how I am, why I need you so

Oww! Huh!


[Instrumental break]


[Outro]

Sky fall from above, I should lose your precious love

Sky fall from above, I should lose your precious love

Sky fall from above, I should lose your precious love

Sky fall from above, I should lose your precious love

If sky fall from above, I should lose your precious love
