These Things Take Time
My eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wonder kindYou took me behind a disused railway lineAnd said, "I know a place where we can go where we are not known"And you gave me something that I won't forget too soon
But I can't believe you'd ever careAnd this is why you will never careThese things take timeI know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped
I'm spellbound, but a woman dividesAnd the hills are alive with celibate criesBut you know where you came from, you know whereYou're going and you know where you belong
You said I was ill, and you were not wrongBut I can't believe you'd ever careAnd this is why you will never careThese things take timeI know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped
Oh, the alcoholic afternoonsWhen we sat in your roomThey meant more to meThan any, than any living thing on earth
They had more worthThan any living thing on earthOn earth, on earth, oh
Vivid and in your primeYou will leave me behindYou will leave me behind
