Song Lyrics


The First Time I Loved Her It Was Here
by Joy Electric

Album: My Grandfather, The Cubist


The first time I loved her it was here
They discovered us
Playing in the ponds with toads
And leafy dragons
The first time I loved her it was here
Afternoons in the Fall
Nothing but to wonder
Where now should we wander?
Sleep on beds of grass
Awoken by our hunger

The first time I loved her it was here
Leaves upon the stark landscape
We supposed the world
Would never change us
The first time I loved her it was here
Secrets left in hearts
You withdrew your hand
To see what lay behind us
I could never plead enough
To make you hold on

The first time I loved her it was here
Faces strained in doubt
Bodies in unseemly gestures
The obscene shrieks
The first time I loved her it was here
Shameless utterance
Agonies that freeze
Prolong what memories have
Brought to wasted birth
Assembled points of regret
Languish with despair
The trees will droop and wither
Winter will remain
The sadness of our weather

The first time I loved her it was here
