The Smiths — These Things Take Time David Jensen Session 26/06/83

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] But I can't believe that you'd ever care And this is why you will never care [Chorus] But these things take time And I know that I'm The most inept that ever stеpped [Verse 2] I'm spellbound, but a woman divides And thе 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 [Pre-Chorus] But I can't believe that you'd ever care And so you never care [Chorus] But these things take time I know that I'm The most inept that ever stepped [Verse 3] Oh, the alcoholic afternoons When we sat in your rooms They meant more to me than any Than any living thing on earth That had more worth Than any Living thing on earth, on earth, on earth Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh [Outro] Vivid and in your prime You will leave me behind You will leave me behind
