Rare And Precious Chain - Jethro Tull

Rare and precious chain

Do I have to tell you, tell you once again?

Under red lights, on soft nights, it all comes back to you

Rare and precious chain

Binds me to your soul round gently pulsing veins

Shackled tight, feel love’s bite coming back to you

No gold of fools

No hostage taking

No engagement rules

To leave you forsaken

Tiny beads of sweat

Thin diamond glistening, glistening around your neck

Forgotten rooms, dark catacombs

They all come back to you

No crock of glittering prizes

No sharply worded telegram

No excuses for the word-weary

No excuses for who I am

It’s a rare and precious chain

Around your neck I place it, place it once again

Drawn finger tight, feel love’s bite coming back to you

Under red lights, on soft nights, it all comes back to you

Rare and precious chain
