Precious Stone

(album: Calm Animals - 1989)

I danced in the surf at the edge of an ocean
Could have been someone else could have been anything at all
Don't deny that you ask yourself
How do you weigh in this precious stone?

I stumbled on a flaw in the order
Unwrapped the gift and spread the sheet to the border
There's no virtue if there's no sin
How do you weigh in this precious stone
At the point of no return
This precious stone
At the point of no return
This precious stone
At the point of no return
This precious stone
At the point of no return

Well at the end of the day
There's no me without you
At the end of the day
There's no me without you
So how do you weigh in this precious stone?

Well I'm a tick in the clock of old Father Time
Feel the beat of the rock under the palm of of my hand
Don't deny that you ask yourself
How do you weigh in this precious stone?
We're at the point of no return
This precious stone
At the point of no return
This precious stone
At the point of no return
This precious stone
At the point of no return

This precious stone...
