A child in a curious phase
a man with sullen ways
oh, I know very well how I got my name
you think you were my first love
you think you were my first love
but you're wrong
you were the only one
who's come and gone

When 13 years old
who died his hair gold?
oh, I know very well — I don't need to be told
you think you were my first love
you think you were my first love
but you're wrong
you were the only one
who's come and gone

You were the only one
who's come and gone
