Mine eyes have seen The glory of the sacred wunderkind You took me behind a dis-used 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
But I can't believe that you'd ever care And this is why you will never care But these things take time I know that I'm The most inept That ever stepped
I'm spellbound oh but a woman divides And the 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
But I can't believe that you'd ever care And so you will never care But these things take time And I know that I'm The most inept That ever stepped
Oh the alcoholic afternoons When we sat in your rooms They meant more to me Than any than 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
