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 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
