Paroles de la chanson Precious Time par Van Morrison

Precious time is slipping away
But you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away


It doesn't matter what route you take
Sooner or later the heart's gonna break
No rhyme or reason, no master plan
No Nirvana, no promised land


Because precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray

Precious time is slipping away


Say que sera, whatever will be
But then I keep on searching for immortality
She's so beautiful but she's gonna die some day
Everything in life just passes away


Precious time is slipping away
You know she's only queen for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away
[Saxophone Solo]


Well, this world is cruel with its twists and its turns

But the fire's still in me and the passion it burns
I love her madly till the day I die
Till hell freezes over and the rivers run dry


But precious time is slipping away
You know she's only queen for a day
Doesn't matter to which God you pray because
Precious time is slipping away
Precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray
Precious time is slipping away
Precious time is slipping away
You know you're only king for a day
It doesn't matter to which God you pray because
Precious time is slipping away

[Saxophone Solo]
