Ferron - Takes A Little Time Lyrics
Sadie's momma was a tanker always bowling herdown to the groundAnd when Sadie got old enough she moved it onHer freedom was a one way bus to another townShe had a little money, bought a dress and she put it onAnd she worked her days in an all night restaurantIt was called believe or not...Anything You WantThere was a woman on the graveyard shift thatSadie liked a lotAnd she even took to coming early just in casethey could have some timeIt seemed that anything the graveyard lady wantedthe graveyard lady gotAnd Sadie decided the difference between themwas a shadow lineYears would fly before she'd bother to tryto be her own true faceRight now seemed like every thing was sadly stuck in placeHot town, Toronto, l951The Spring is doing its stuffShe sends a letter home to say "I've come undone"All they say "that's tough"Another birthday pass her by and she has a dreamone night that she can flyAnd she goes to work that day and all she does is cry cry cryAnd Sadie finally meet a man who dances a jigand she follows him downBut don't he turn out to be a little angel of miseryLiving quiet in a private dream, protected by a frozen frownPeriodically he looks up and says"Sadie, what's to become of you and me?"It's at these times that she holds his headHalf wishing all the while that he's holding her insteadAnd she finally tells him that and it blows his mind...Takes a little time, takes a little time, takes a little time.Takes a little time, takes a little time, takes a little time.It's so amazing what you don't find outwhen you're dancing
