Precious Time — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

A million tiny lights are strung across the western sky

They burn to light our mission

But its just a million lonely hearts

Strung out from never asking why

We burn with blind ambition



I heard somebody say

I dont regret my wedding day

But somethings wrong

Its not the same

Im lonely and Id start again

If I had the time

Precious time



But I dont ask much

Just to keep in touch

And waste a little of your precious time

Waste a little of your precious time



A million dollars never justified a million lies

To jockey for position

And if two hearts cant beat as one

How can a million souls survive

In this world of suspicion





I heard somebody say

I dream about my wedding day

Through lonely nights

I dream of you

A lover though a friend would do

Id find him if I had the time

Precious time



But I dont ask much

Just to keep in touch

And waste a little of your precious time

Waste a little of your precious time



And just a smiles enough

Just some of that human stuff

And waste a little of your precious time

Precious time
