Ian Anderson - Rare And Precious Chain lyrics

Rare and precious chain Do I have to tell you, tell you once again? Under red lights, on soft nights, it all comes back to you Rare and precious chain Binds me to your soul round gently pulsing veins Shackled tight, feel love's bite coming back to you No gold of fools No hostage taking No engagement rules To leave you forsaken Tiny beads of sweat Thin diamond glistening, glistening around your neck Forgotten rooms, dark catacombs They all come back to you No crock of glittering prizes No sharply worded telegram No excuses for the word-weary No excuses for who I am It's a rare and precious chain Around your neck I place it, place it once again Drawn finger tight, feel love's bite coming back to you Under red lights, on soft nights, it all comes back to you Rare and precious chain
