Precious (Live in Palau Sant Jordi, Barcelona, 21st November 2009)

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God, what have we done to you?
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
"Martin!"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Alright, give me some more!"

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two
"Oh!"

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
