Al Kooper - First Time Around lyrics

Kooper Oh laughin' lightly it was night time She held my hand & she took me down While askin' strangers for the right time We walked outside the leering lights of town And slowly as it dawned on me that I'd never be the same I bit my lip so hard it bled and I softly called her name With hands as smooth as morning raindrops She soaked my body head to toe She asked me "Now?" and I said "Not yet, luv..." "But when it's time you'll be the first to know..." And soon the man inside me quickly surfaced to the top And cryin' out for help I found it much too late to stop With eyes as wide as lighthouse searchlights I tried my best to act demure But she could not contain her laughter As she told me "All that glitters is not pure..." And knowing that for certain It was lost upon the ground I hope you find it easy When it's your first time around
