I've been combing Northwest riverbeds
Digging for rubies in the ground
I've got buckets of cut glass and fool's gold
But you're like nothing else I've found
Every stone I overturn looks precious in the sun
But every stone I overturn is worthless without you
You're rare
Nothing can compare
I won't give you away
You're rare
I will still be there
I won't give you away
I've been down the halls of Europe
Through museums where I was told
About the brushstrokes that taught Picasso
On masterpieces that never sold
Every stone you overturn is precious
You're rare
Nothing can compare
I won't give you away
You're rare
I will still be there
I won't give you away
