My First Lover

Gillian Welch · Time (The Revelator) [2001]

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 shakey morning after callin' it quits

With my first lover.



Quicksilver Girl

Quicksilver Girl

Quicksilver girl and she's free...
