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 you gave me something
That I won't forget too soon

But I can't believe you'd ever care
And this is why you'll never care

These things take time
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 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
Than any living thing on earth
They had more worth
Than any living thing on Earth
On Earth
On Earth

Vivid and in your prime
You will leave me behind
You will leave me behind
