Henri Green - These Things Take Time (SU Fan Song) lyrics

Garnet: Old friend, I know you're hurting You can't pretend that this is working I can see it in your eyes, your smiles are masking cries And your voice breaks when your strength wavers. I know that you've been trying To disagree; that would be lying But the thing that Steven needs is not the same as you or me Didn't Rose love that earth is full of different flavors? Ooooh I can see her in his face too Ooooh Maybe we should do like humans do; And take it a day at a time We've made it this far; I'm sure we'll be just fine. Pearl: Old friend, how do you do it? How do you pretend there's nothing to it? I know you're not alone, but out of everyone I've known You're the only one who lives so freely Both: You have seen as much as I have And we have been to limbo and back Pearl: But Rose, she was my rock, now I've forgotten how to walk Without her absence in my steps Ooooh I can see her in his face Ooooh And it makes me feel so out of place It makes me just want to go home But Rose is the only home I've ever known Garnet: *spoken* I know it's easy for you to say things that you don't really mean when you feel this way. But can you honestly say that if you could bring Rose back, that you would give everything up that you have now? Pearl: *spoken* I... I couldn't... I... I wouldn't! Garnet: Doesn't that boy have so much about him? Pearl: It's hard to believe he's only half gem Garnet: But ain't it a shame that that's the thing that makes us doubt him? When after all, he brought us closer To them And that's something not even Rose could do Pearl: Yes I... I suppose that's true... *spoken* Garnet... What do I do now? Garnet: Just take it easy And know that we're on your side; These things take time Pearl: Ooooh, you know, He has never felt her touch, But ooooh I have never known one love so much... Garnet: And that is because of you. And me, and Greg, And Amethyst too And that's what Steven has the power to do, the power to do Pearl: Yes, I know that's true.
