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
