FIRST SONG    

Ralph McTell

I've written words that say I'm leaving. 
Words express the pain. 
Old songs lose young meanings, 
But new ones they gain 
From changes that I've been through, 
And what I'm coming to  
You were my first song, 
And I still . . .
 
Sure I still get feelings 
To get back on the road 
And I still get leanings 
To forget the things I know
About myself and changes, 
Gone through and coming to 
And you were my first song 
And I still . . .

Do words express true meanings?
I mean the words are still the same 
Old loves lose young feelings, 
But new ones they gain 
From changes that I've been through, 
And new ones I'm coming to 
You were my first song, 
And I still . . .

You were my first song, 
And I still........... 

Yes, you were my first song, 
And I still love you.
