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 wonderbread And went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us And 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 fallin' on our heads But they're just old light They're just old 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 in the yellow light And 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 He ate a slice of wonderbread And went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one And history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us Not even once
