Smiths - These Things Take Time (Tate) lyrics

rate me

My 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 you gave me something that I won't forget too soon <br />

But I can't believe you'd ever care <br />

And this is why you will never care <br />

These things take time <br />

I know that I'm <br />

The most inept <br />

That ever stepped <br />

<br />

I'm spellbound; 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 you'd ever care <br />

And this is why you will never care <br />

These things take time <br />

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 room <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
