[00:00.00]First Girl I Loved -The Incredible String Band
[00:24.442]First girl I loved
[00:28.432]Time has come I will sing you
[00:30.112]This sad goodbye song
[00:33.82]When I was seventeen
[00:37.942]I used to know you
[00:44.92]Well I haven't seen you now
[00:45.632]Since many is the short year
[00:47.882]And the last time I seen you
[00:49.292]You said you'd joined the
[00:50.412]Church of Jesus
[00:52.862]But me I remember your long red hair
[00:56.952]Falling in our faces
[00:58.202]As I kissed you
[01:04.522]Well I want you to know we just had to grow;
[01:12.322]I want you to know I just had to go
[01:20.762]And you're probably married now
[01:25.382]House and car and all
[01:29.672]And you turned into a grownup
[01:35.221]Female stranger
[01:38.51]And if I was lying near you now
[01:41.51]I probably wouldn't be here at all
[01:48.821]Well we parted so hard;
[01:53.261]Me rushing round Britain with a guitar
[01:57.821]Making love to people
[02:01.991]That I didn't even like to see
[02:09.81]Well I would think of you
[02:12.861]Yes I mean in the six sad morning
[02:17.551]And in the lonely midnight
[02:21.281]Try to hold your face before me
[02:28.381]Well I want you to know I just had to go;
[02:36.861]I want you to know we just had to grow
[02:44.941]And you're probably married now kids and all
[02:53.741]And you turned into a grownup female stranger
[03:02.131]And if I was lying near you now
[03:05.131]I'd just have to fall
[03:15.11]Well I never slept with you
[03:19.601]Though we must have made love a thousand times
[03:24.471]For we were just young didn't have no place to go
[03:36.421]But in the wide hills and beside many a long water
[03:45.461]You have gathered flowers
[03:49.341]And they do not smell for me
[03:56.421]Well I want you to know I just had to go
[04:04.421]I want you to know we just had to grow
[04:12.521]So it's goodbye first love
[04:16.971]And I hope you're fine
[04:21.231]Well I have a sweet woman
[04:25.91]Maybe some day to have babies by me
[04:29.491]She's pretty
[04:32.521]Is a true friend of mine
