Lyrics

Take Your Time

Paul Kelly (Mushroom) This thing needs some working on You just can't push it through Put a little mind on the matter I'm counting on you Take your time Mama gets sore with the child who Just wants to eat and then run She says "Baby what's your hurry To get this over and done?" Take your time Take your time Take your time And show me you love me There go the bells at midnight Ringing all out of tune Here comes the moon arising Sneaking into our room Take your time Take your time Take your time And show me you love me
