My eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wonderkind

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



But I can't believe that 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 slept



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 this is why you will never care

these things take time

I know that I'm

the most inept that ever slept



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



Vivid and in your prime

you will leave me behind

you will leave me behind
