Lyrics

I'd been to a friends house for dinner
My mum wanted me home early so I said I'd better go home
Her sister said she was going anyway so she could walk me some of the way
And she knew a shortcut through the woods
She had long black hair, green eyes

I wish my friends could have seen me
We seemed to get on well, on the way
Cconsidering the age gap
She was nineteen and I was almost fifteen

She stopped by the river
And asked me to go swimming
I was a bit embarrased. I said no
But she said she would anyway, stepped back, and stripped
The sun was beginning to set, as she slipped into the water
And when she was in she kept teasing me, so I gave in
But I kept my pants on

The water was warmer than I'd expected
We swam around and played
She had pushed me under the water
I could feel her legs against mine underneath
She'd hold my arm
We must've been in about an hour

I got out first
I leaned against a tree and put my trousers back on
And then she got out of the river and walked towards me
She put her hands on the tree above my head
Pushed herself against me, and leaned down and kissed me
I don't know how long it lasted

Then she stepped back, bundled up her clothes and said "I'm sure you can find your own way from here"
I ran back along the path

I was late home and I gave my mum some excuse
She beleived it
Then the next day at school
My friend invited me round for dinner again
I said no
