these things take time
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkind  You took me behind a dis-used railway line  And said "I know a place where we can go  Where we are not known"  And then you gave me something that I won't forget too soon  But I can't believe that you'd ever care  And this is why you will never care  But these things take time  I know that I'm  The most inept  That ever stepped   I'm spellbound, oh...but a woman divides  And the hills are alive with celibate cries  But you know where you came from, you know where  You're going and you know where you belong  You said I was ill, and you were not wrong  But I can't believe that you'd ever care  And so, you will never care  But these things take time  And I know that I'm  The most inept  That ever stepped   Oh, the alcoholic afternoons  When we sat in your rooms  They meant more to me  Than any, than any living thing on earth  They had more worth  Than any living thing on earth  On earth, on earth, oh ...   Vivid and in your prime  You will leave me behind  You will leave me behind
