Samson lyrics

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth

I have to go, I have to go

Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed

And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us

The bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the stars came falling on our heads

But there just soft light

Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed

Told me that my hair was red

He told me I was beautiful and came into my bed

Oh I cut his hair myself one night

A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light

He told me that I'd done alright

And kissed me till the morning light the morning light

And he kissed me till the morning light

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

Ate a slice of wonderbread

And went right back to bed

Oh we couldn't bring the colums down

Ya we couldn't destroy a single one

And the history books forgot about us

And the bible didn't mention us

Not even once

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first
