My 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
(D)
And you told 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; by a woman divine
And the hills are alive with celibate cries
(D)
And I know where you came from, I know where You're going and i 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, 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
