incredible string band - first girl i loved lyrics
first girl i loved,
time has come i will sing you
this sad goodbye song,
when i was seventeen, i used to know you.
well, i haven’t seen you, now, since many is the short year,
and the last time i seen you, you said you’d joined the
church of jesus.
but me, i remember your long red hair falling in our faces
as i kissed you.
well, i want you to know, we just had to grow;
i want you to know, i just had to go.
and you’re probably married now, house and car and all,
and you turned into a grownup, female, stranger.
and if i was lying near you now,
i probably wouldn’t be here at all.
well, we parted so hard;
me, rushing round britain with a guitar,
making love to people
that i didn’t even like to see.
well, i would think of you.
yes, i mean in the six sad morning.
and in the lonely midnight,
try to hold your face before me.
well, i want you to know, i just had to go;
i want you to know, we just had to grow.
and you’re probably married now, kids and all,
and you turned into a grownup, female, stranger.
and if i was lying near you now,
i’d just have to fall.
well, i never slept with you
though we must have made love a thousand times.
for we were just young, didn’t have no place to go,
but in the wide hills and beside many a long water
you have gathered flowers, and they do not smell for me.
well, i want you to know, i just had to go.
i want you to know, we just had to grow.
so it’s goodbye first love, and i hope you’re fine.
well, i have a sweet woman
maybe some day to have babies by me,
she’s pretty,
is a true friend of mine
