A heart of stone, soul of ice
She stands there in the doorway
I can feel the flame is burning higher
She never wants to take advice
She always does it her way
I can feel the flame is burning high

And it matters to me
Yes it matters to me
'cause i've waited so long
I think you should know
The way that i feel

You were so precious, baby
You played with fire
You set all my dreams in motion
You walked the wire
You were so precious, baby

She turns around and grains of sand
Fall between her fingers
No chains of steel will hold her now
Once was lost and never found
I feel like i'm stranger
Those chains of steel will break somehow

And it matters to me
Yes it matters to me
'cause i've waited so long
I think you should know
The way that i feel

You were so precious, baby
You played with fire
You set all my dreams in motion
You walked the wire, girl

We were so precious, baby
You played with fire
You were so precious, baby
We were so precious, baby
