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
