Notes:
This song was on the 4 song demo tape, The Goodfoot Workshop, which got the band signed to Capitol Records.

Brad: Rogers and I wrote that right before we first came to Los Angeles and met Shannon. It was either the second or third song we recorded. We finished it after Shannon joined. We wrote other songs we thought surpassed it, so we didn't even put it on our first album. If you listen to that song now, it's pretty amazing. What he's singing. I like the song, but we had rifts in the band over it.  Some said it was too sappy or too commercial, but everybody came full circle on it. We recorded that in our practice hall in L.A. when we were rehearsing to put together songs for the first album. It was on an analog eight-track tape. We painstakingly made it sound good against all odds.

Rogers: Brad wrote the words and I wrote the music before we even met Shannon. He then came in, fixed up all the melodies and did the bridge part. I think it's the first song we ever wrote for Blind Melon.

Lyrics:
How come, girl was there when I needed one
How come, girl was there when the song is done
Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light
Okay, open my arms they were right
She was my soul one
She felt she was the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one
Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry
Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky
How long take to realize she's the one
How long until I find my lost and lonely soul one
She was my soul one
She felt like the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one
Should of never taken the time
'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie
You said, you left to find yourself
But I never, no I never got the chance to say good-bye
She was my soul one I though she was
