Precious Little lyrics (Eleanor McEvoy)
Shake your beads out,
One by one
And call me Magdalene
It won¡¯t grieve me
I understand
Where it is you¡¯re coming from
Draw a curtain
Close your eyes
When history¡¯s pages fail you.
I will not open up those history books
That¡¯s not for me to do.
Precious little in your life
Is yours by right
And won without a fight
Precious little in your life
Is yours by right
And won without a fight.
Shadows call me,
In the wind
Some don¡¯t go away
Angels guide me
From the clouds
In everything I do and say
Shake your beads out
Kneeling down
It will not pass me by
Two people coming from a different place
Maybe neither one is right.
Repeat CHORUS
Shake your beads out
Join your hands
That still won¡¯t make you right
Those so-called sinners that you¡¯re praying for
Are standing by your side
Repeat CHORUS
Repeat CHORUS
