These Things Take Time - The Smiths

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 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 that 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 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
