My 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 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
|
