Lyrics Richard Hawley

Richard Hawley

Precious Sight

Smallwood, a joiner, takes carpenter out for a meal

As soon as we dock see the captain to get a better deal

My darkness in mind is concealed

I'm in here alone and unreal

But not anymore

Not anymore

Up above and outside we looked towards the stern of the ship

Weighed up the anchor and then I decided to slip

Land well in middle and row

I'm tired of deceiving my soul

But not anymore

Not anymore

Won't be at this station too long

Took too many journeys alone

But not anymore

Not anymore

I leap the boat clear without paying my bills, I just left here

Precious sight in my eyes as I take the last dive, I shed no tears

I'm taking a guess

This life is a mess

But not anymore

Not anymore
