These Things Take Time (David Jensen Session 26/06/83) Lyrics

[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 you gave me something that I won't forget too soon

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't believe 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 steppеd

[Verse 2]
I'm spellbound, but a woman divides
And the hills arе 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 you'd ever care
And this is why you will never care
[Chorus]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
