And if I was lying near you now
And in the lonely midnight
And the last time I seen you, you said you'd joined the Church of Jesus
I want you to know, we just had to grow
I want you to know, we just had to grow
When I was seventeen
I didn't even like to see
Maybe someday to bear babies by me, she's pretty
As I kissed you
We parted so hard
So it's goodbye first love and I hope you're fine
I have a sweet woman
I want you to know, I just had to go
I want you to know, I just had to go
And you turned into a grownup female stranger
We were just young, didn't have no place to go
Though we must have made love a thousand times
I used to know you
And if I was lying near you now
But me, I remember your long red hair falling in our faces
Try to hold your face before me
Well, I haven't seen you now since many is the short year
I want you to know, I just had to go
You're probably married now, kids and all
I'd just have to fall
And I mean in the six sad morning
I want you to know, we just had to grow
You have gathered flowers and they do not smell for me
But in the wide hills and beside many a long water
Well, I never slept with you
You turned into a grownup female stranger
I wouldn't be here at all
And you're probably married now, house and car and all
I would think of you
And making love to people
Me, rushing round Britain with a guitar
