Paul Westerberg First Glimmer lyrics

Do you remember me long ago
Used to wear
My heart on my sleeve
I guess it still shows

We watched
The sun fall down
And I hop on my bike
Still that night

You're my first glimmer of light
You were my
You was my first, glimmer of light

And the leaves were burning up in the street
I guess they tore that bridge out
Where we used to meet
And no one can see there

You're my first glimmer of light
You were my
You was my first glimmer of light

Wore my jacket
And I wore your sweater
Underneath the bridge
Was an Indian summer
Purple mascara
Safety pins kickin' the dirt

Took off your jacket
Took off my sweater
And we made a wish
Things would never be better
Train whistle blew

My wish won't come, oh no

You were the first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You're my first glimmer of light
You was my first, you was my first

Wore my jacket
And I wore your sweater
Underneath the bridge
Was an Indian summer
Purple mascara
Safety pins God did it hurt

Took off my jacket
Took off your sweater
And we made a wish
Things would never be better
Train whistle blew
And my wish came true

You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light

Oh, baby now
Yes you were
Yes you were
Yes you were
...
