For the First Time

 

For the first time in all this time

You’ve made me see

You’ve been fooling me &

What a fool I’ve been

 

If I’d only known the love we’d grown

Would steal away and run

To the green hills where the wild orchids grow

 

For the first time in all this time I’ve come to know

Good times come and go

Either high or low

In a blink of time

You can change your mind

Turn around and run

To the green hills where the wild orchids grow

 

     I should’ve known every road comes to an end

     And that the words we said

     Were never meant

     Just silly empty sentiment

   

      I should’ve known every road comes to an end

     And that the things we did

     We never meant

      If you keep it hid

     You’re innocent

 

For the first time in all this time

I realise

A lesson to the wise

Right there in front of my eyes

If you ever find that you’ve changed your mind

You can steal away and run

To the green hills where the wild orchids grow
