You are my sweetest down-fall

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



Sam - son 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 for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us

And the bi-ble 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


Sam - son came to my bed

Told me that my hair was red

Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed

Oh I cut his hair my - self one night

A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

And he told me that I'd done alright

and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light

and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light




Sam - son 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 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....


You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first
