lyrics

The Only Girl I've Ever Loved

I walk the city blocks and the waterfront
the alleys and the lanes and the loading docks,
People asking "boy what have lost?'
I said - "the only girl I've ever loved".

She was tall and dark with hazel eyes,
she lived around here for the longest time,
we'd sit over there and drink our wine,
watch bands down at The Firesign.

well I got lucky
but I aint lucky no more
I been searching all day and it's almost dusk
for the only girl I've ever loved.

The old bartender just shakes his head,
neighbours say she just got up and left,
no goodbye or forwarding address,
where she's gone is anyone's guess.

Elevator doors open up,
the city streets swallow me up,
I throw a coin into a beggar's cup,
it's midnight but I aint giving up.

well I got lucky
but I aint lucky no more
I been searching all night and dawn's coming up
for the only girl I've ever loved
for the only girl I've ever loved,
for the only girl I've ever loved.
