Precious Little

1. Shake your beads out, one by one
And call me Magdalene
It wont grieve me, I understand
Where it is youre coming from.

Draw a curtain, close your eyes
When historys pages fail you
I will not open up those history books
Thats not for me to do.

[Chorus:]
Precious little in your life
Is yours by right
And won without a fight.

Precious little in your life
Is yours by right
And won without a fight.

2. Shadows call me in the wind
Some dont go away
Angels guide me from the clouds
In everything I do and say.

Shake your beads out kneeling down
It will not pass me by
Two people coming from a different place
Maybe neither one is right.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Shake your beads out, join your hands
That still wont make you right
Those so-called sinners that youre praying for
Are standing by your side.

[Chorus x2]

Oh, precious little.
