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

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
