The Incredible String Band - First Girl I Loved lyrics
[The 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 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
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 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
