[00:00.00]First Girl I Loved - The Incredible String Band
[00:24.44]First girl I loved
[00:28.43]Time has come I will sing you
[00:30.11]This sad goodbye song
[00:33.08]When I was seventeen
[00:37.94]I used to know you
[00:44.09]Well I haven't seen you now
[00:45.63]Since many is the short year
[00:47.88]And the last time I seen you
[00:49.29]You said you'd joined the
[00:50.41]Church of Jesus
[00:52.86]But me I remember your long red hair
[00:56.95]Falling in our faces
[00:58.20]As I kissed you
[01:04.52]Well I want you to know we just had to grow;
[01:12.32]I want you to know I just had to go
[01:20.76]And you're probably married now
[01:25.38]House and car and all
[01:29.67]And you turned into a grownup
[01:35.22]Female stranger
[01:38.05]And if I was lying near you now
[01:41.05]I probably wouldn't be here at all
[01:48.82]Well we parted so hard;
[01:53.26]Me rushing round Britain with a guitar
[01:57.82]Making love to people
[02:01.99]That I didn't even like to see
[02:09.08]Well I would think of you
[02:12.86]Yes I mean in the six sad morning
[02:17.55]And in the lonely midnight
[02:21.28]Try to hold your face before me
[02:28.38]Well I want you to know I just had to go;
[02:36.86]I want you to know we just had to grow
[02:44.94]And you're probably married now kids and all
[02:53.74]And you turned into a grownup female stranger
[03:02.13]And if I was lying near you now
[03:05.13]I'd just have to fall
[03:15.01]Well I never slept with you
[03:19.60]Though we must have made love a thousand times
[03:24.47]For we were just young didn't have no place to go
[03:36.42]But in the wide hills and beside many a long water
[03:45.46]You have gathered flowers
[03:49.34]And they do not smell for me
[03:56.42]Well I want you to know I just had to go
[04:04.42]I want you to know we just had to grow
[04:12.52]So it's goodbye first love
[04:16.97]And I hope you're fine
[04:21.23]Well I have a sweet woman
[04:25.09]Maybe some day to have babies by me
[04:29.49]She's pretty
[04:32.52]Is a true friend of mine
