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 --- Precious Sight - Richard Hawley
