Pale and Precious Lyrics
So pale and precious is the light that will shine
Out of the windows in her head
So pale and precious like the sun as it climbs
Up every morning on her bed
If all of her moments were put down in a book
Then I could read it 'til I went blind
If all of the tears she cried flowed into a brook
Well than I'm sure it would taste like wine
Don't care what the others might say
As far as I'm concerned they can all fall apart
Fade away
So pale and precious is the light that will shine
Out of her perfumed golden hair
So pale and precious are the steps that I climb
Up to her room so bright and bare
If all of the things she said were flowers and trees
Well then her garden would always be green
If all of our time together fell on one day
It would be like every Christmas there's been
Don't care what the others might say
As far as I'm concerned they can all fall apart
Fade Away
Up she rises each and every morning
She blows the stars out of the sky
And lights the sun with her bright eyes
The smell of the pinecones
And the sea in her hair
Silver Gentle
Out of the windows in her head
So pale and precious like the sun as it climbs
Up every morning on her bed
Then I could read it 'til I went blind
If all of the tears she cried flowed into a brook
Well than I'm sure it would taste like wine
Don't care what the others might say
As far as I'm concerned they can all fall apart
Fade away
Out of her perfumed golden hair
So pale and precious are the steps that I climb
Up to her room so bright and bare
Well then her garden would always be green
If all of our time together fell on one day
It would be like every Christmas there's been
As far as I'm concerned they can all fall apart
Fade Away
She blows the stars out of the sky
And lights the sun with her bright eyes
And the sea in her hair
Silver Gentle

Aside from the obvious and deliberately demonstrated Beach Boys influence, this is another song about universal love couched in admiration of its personification. I wouldn't say that adulation of an actual person would be an incorrect interpretation, however. That's the beauty of Andy Partridge's lyrics, though.
