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.

The birds on the telephone line
Are cryin' out to me
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.
I can't make demands
I know how to bend.

It's gonna 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.

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.
