Heywood Banks – My Precious Queen lyrics

Album: Pretending I'm Not Home

My precious queen
Oh now you're gone
Oh, you flew so high
Then you dropped to the ground

When I had the chance
Ooh, I should've tied ya down better
Though I held you so tight,
You slipped from my hands
Oh, my precious queen

You had a life before me
The normal course of events
With kids and cats and lovers
Spills and accidents

And I can see you're in time
Ooh, gotta cover that stain
Oh, all those others left on you
Oh, my precious queen

Then came the day you left me
We were movin' 'cross town
I had my arm out the window
Just tryin' to hold ya down

We'd just got on the freeway
When that old wind came through
And ooh, oh, oh, oh, that's when I lost you
My precious queen

Well you broke the rope that had held you
And at last you were free!
And in a moment of grace, you sailed away
Like a square cloud on a silver breeze!

And that's when that big truck hit you.
And in an instant you were just foam, rubber, and springs on the ground.
And all I could think of,
Was, "I hope there's no cops around,"

Oh my precious queen
Oh-oh, now you're gone
Oh well, you flew so high
Then you dropped to the ground

When I had the chance
Oh I should've tied ya down better!
Although I held you so tight,
You slipped from my hand
Oh, my precious queen!

Although I held you so tight,
You slipped from my hand
Oh, my precious queen!

We've been together since that big, uh,
Memorial Day Sale.
My precious queen
