These Things Take Time

My eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wonder kind You took me behind a disused railway line And 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 care And this is why you will never care These things take time I know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped I'm spellbound, 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 you'd ever care And this is why you will never care These things take time I know that I'm the most inept that ever stepped Oh, the alcoholic afternoons When we sat in your room 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
