from If I Were a Carpenter (1994) 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
