it's going to take some time

it's gonna take some time this time

to get myself in shape

i really fell out of line this time

i really missed the gate

birds on the telephone line

are crying out to me

i won't be so blind next time

and i'll find some harmony

but it's going to take some time this time

and i can't make demands

like the young trees in the wintertime

i'll learn how to bend

after all the tears we've spent

how could we make amends

so it's one more round for experience

and i'm on the road again

and it's gonna take some time this time

it's going to take some time this time

no matter what i've planned

like the young trees in the wintertime

i'll learn how to bend

after all the tears we've spent

how could we make amends

so it's one more round for experience

and i'm on the road again

and it's gonna take some time this time

yeah

it's gonna take some time yeah

it's gonna take some time

i'll learn how to bend

i'll learn how to bend

i'll learn how to bend

it's gonna take some time

it's gonna take some time

yeah

i'll learn how to bend

yeah

it's gonna take some time

it's gonna take some time
