It`s going to take some time this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out-of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone line (next time)
Are cryin` out to me (next time)
And 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
But 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 going to take some time this time
And I can`t make demands
I`ll learn how to bend
It`s going to take some time this time
No matter what I`ve planned
But like the young trees in the wintertime
I`ll learn how to bend
Repeat (*)
