Precious Time Lyrics - Back On Top - Van Morrison

Precious time is slipping away 

But you're only king for a day 

It doesn't matter to which God you pray 

Precious time is slipping away 

It doesn't matter what route you take 

Sooner or later the hearts going to break 

No rhyme or reason, no master plan 

No nirvana, no promised land because 

Precious time is slipping away 

You know, you're only king for a day 

It doesn't matter to which God you pray 

Precious time is slipping away 

Say, que sera, whatever will be 

But then I keep on searching for immortality 

She's so beautiful but she's going to die some day 

Everything in life just passes away

Precious time is slipping away 

You know, she's only queen for a day 

It doesn't matter to which God you pray 

Precious time is slipping away 

Well, this world is cruel with its twists and turns 

Well, the fire's still in me and the passion burns 

I love a melody 'til the day I die 

'Til hell freezes over and the rivers run dry 

Precious time is slipping away 

You know, she's only queen for a day 

Doesn't matter to which God you pray because 

Precious time is slipping away 

Precious time is slipping away 

You know, you're only king for a day 

It doesn't matter to which God you pray 

Precious time is slipping away 

Precious time is slipping away 

You know, you're only king for a day 

It doesn't matter to which God you pray because 

Precious time is slipping away
