The Smiths - These Things Take Time lyrics
[The Smiths - These Things Take Time lyrics]
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the sacred wunderkind
You took me behind a disused 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
And 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 so you 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
It had more worth than any
Living thing on earth, on earth, on earth
Vivid and in your prime
You will leave me behind
You will leave me behind
Of the sacred wunderkind
You took me behind a disused 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
And 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 so you 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
It had more worth than any
Living thing on earth, on earth, on earth
Vivid and in your prime
You will leave me behind
You will leave me behind
