First (Though Not The Last)

from Late Night Mix Vol. 2 by Candace Coker Music

lyrics

I think there's a thought of you
At the back of my mind
Scratchy piece of paper
Crumpled in a corner
With your name on a line
Swing until we overdose on laughter, darling
That was our style
Walk into the dark and talk for hours, darling
That was our kind

I think there's a thought of you
At the back of my mind
Polaroid picture hidden under clutter
With your face close to mine
Talk about the way we love to love, oh darling
That was our style
Then let each other down push came to shove
Oh darling, that was our sign
That things wouldn't work like we wanted them to

You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
And my heart may not forget so fast
Oh my first, oh my first though not the last

I think there's a thought of you at the back of my mind
You came when my heart relearned to be courageous
You came quite like a crime
Awakening a part of me
I've tried to lull to sleep with lullabies
But I will not despise the past
Nor will you I despise
Though things didn't work like we wanted them to

You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
You're the first, you're the first, though not the last
And my heart may not forget so fast
Oh my first, oh my first though not the last

Oh my last, oh my love
Oh my heart, get excited
Oh what lasts, that is love
Oh my heart, be reminded

Candace Coker is a Trinidad-born artist who brings an evocative blend of poetry, gospel and musicality to the world of alternative-folk. Her sound carries with it a jazzy softness and a neo-soul grit, which she attributes to her love for the 1940s, as well as her Afro-Caribbean roots.

Her music is a call to experience life poetically, to revel in beauty and to chase the 'more' of life. ... more
