There's a church here in the city
You can only see the spire
As they built the city up
Those buildings kept on getting higher
There's a narrow path they left
Where you can hear those old bells chime
So honey, please take me in your own time

In that church here in the city
Where we stood and made that vow
Flowers bloomed behind you
But ivy grows there now
And you were running late, but then
You knew I'd never mind
I said, honey, please take me in your own time


In that church here in the city
It felt like yesterday
Our children turned to adults
And had their wedding days
Bedrooms turned to playrooms
Where we sing them nursery rhymes
Take me to them, please, take me in your own time

We thought we'd have forever
But life's not always kind
It brought us both together
Then it took you in your prime

I walk that path alone now
It's all shops and neon signs
The new square's called St Peter's
And those bells no longer chime
There comes a time for everyone and now that time is mine
So please, Lord, you can take me in your own time
Mm, oh please, Lord, you can take me in your own time
