Mine eyes have seen the glory of the scared wunderknid

you took me behind a dis-used railway line

and you said "I know a place 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'll never care

but these things take time

and I know that I'm the most inept

that ever stepped



I'm spellbound, 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 never cared

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 room

they meant more to me

than any living thing on earth

they had more worth

than any living thing on earth



vivid and in your prime

you will leave me behind

you will leave me behind
