(from the album rubaiyat: elektras 40th anniversary; performed by jackson browne with david lindley)

First girl I loved--
Time has come I will sing the sad goodbye song
When I was seventeen, I used to know you
And I havent seen you now in so many years
And the last time I saw you
You said you joined the church of jesus
But me I remember your long red hair
Falling in our faces as I kissed you

I just want you to know I just had to go
I just want you to know I just had to grow
And youre probably married now
With a house and car and all
And you turned into a grown-up female stranger
If I was lyin by you now, I wouldnt be here at all

Well we parted so hard
Me rushing round new york with a guitar
Making love to people I didnt even like to see
And I still sometimes think of you
As I lay here in the six at morning
And in the lonely midnight
Ive got to hold your face before me

I just want you to know I just had to go
I just want you to know I just had to grow
And youre probably married now
With kids and all
And you turned into a grown-up female stranger
If I was lyin by you now, Id just have to fall

And I never slept with you
Though we must have made love a thousand times
cause we were just young
Didnt have no place to go

I just want you to know I just had to go
I just want you to know I just had to grow
So its goodbye first love
And I hope youre fine
I have a sweet woman
Maybe someday shell have babies by me
(she pretty)
Shes a true friend of mine
