Precious Time

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
It doesn't matter what route you take
Sooner or later the heart's gonna break
No rhyme or reason, no master plan
No Nirvana, no promised land

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Say que sera, whatever will be
But then I keep on searching for immortality
She's so beautiful but she's gonna die some day
Everything in life just passes away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Well, this world is cruel with its twists and its turns
But the fire's still in me and the passion it burns
I love her madly till the day I die
Till hell freezes over and the rivers run dry

[Chorus]
But 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
