Lyrics Richard Ashcroft

Richard Ashcroft

Precious Stone

1. Write the book and then we find the pen

Used to feel like the walls are closing in

You made decisions that you never thought you could

You've been crying in the night, yeah, yeah, yeah

You precious stone

Washed up, feeling low

Gonna clean you up, make you feel

Like you know the answer

2. I've got the keys to your jail yeah (with this love)

A little love never fails yeah (overcome)

I've got the keys to your jail yeah (with this love)

A little love never fails yeah

3. You've been all the things that you never thought you were

You saw the devil in the night and it haunts you

Don't think about the things you can never answer

You gotta live, you gotta learn how to love

R: I say, you precious stone

Washed up, feeling low

Gonna clean you up,

make you shine, make you gleam, yeah

You precious stone

Washed up, feeling low

Gonna clean you up, make you feel

Like you know the answer

4. I've got the keys to your jail yeah (with this love)

A little love never fails yeah (overcome)

I've got the keys to your jail yeah (with this love)

A little love never fails yeah

You're the one

With this love

Overcome

With this love

R: I say, you precious stone

Washed up, feeling low

Gonna clean you up,

make you shine, make you glow

I say, you precious stone

Washed up, feeling low

Gonna clean you up,

make you shine, make you whole

I say, you precious stone

On a beach, feeling low

Gonna clean you up,

make you shine, make you gleam, yeah

You precious stone

Washed up on a beach, yeah

Gonna clean you up, make you feel

Like you know the answer
