My First Lover - Gillian Welch

My first lover

My first lover

He was tall and breezy

With his long hair down

But he gets a little hazy

When I think of him now

My first lover

My first lover

He was always talking

Tryin' to bring me down

But I was not waiting

For a white wedding gown

From my first lover

I do not remember any goin' wrong

Just a record playin' that old steve miller song

Quicksilver girl

Quicksilver girl

At a surfer party with the whiskey pourin'

And the bottle rollin' I was on the floor

With my first lover

My first lover

I do not remember any fights or fits

Just a shakey morning after callin' it quits

With my first lover

Quicksilver girl

Quicksilver girl

Quicksilver girl

And she's free
