Mine eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkind <br />
You took me behind a dis-used railway line <br />
And said "I know a place where we can go <br />
Where we are not known" <br />
And then you gave me something that I won't forget too soon <br />
But I can't believe that you'd ever care <br />
And this is why you will never care <br />
But these things take time <br />
I know that I'm <br />
The most inept <br />
That ever stepped <br />
<br />
I'm spellbound, oh ... but a woman divides <br />
And the hills are alive with celibate cries <br />
But you know where you came from, you know where <br />
You're going and you know where you belong <br />
You said I was ill, and you were not wrong <br />
But I can't believe that you'd ever care <br />
And so, you will never care <br />
But these things take time <br />
And I know that I'm <br />
The most inept <br />
That ever stepped <br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, the alcoholic afternoons <br />
When we sat in your rooms <br />
They meant more to me <br />
Than any, than any living thing on earth <br />
They had more worth <br />
Than any living thing on earth <br />
On earth, on earth, oh ... <br />
<br />
<br />
Vivid and in your prime <br />
You will leave me behind <br />
You will leave me behind
