Greg Brown - 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 told light, there just told 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 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 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
