Regina Spektor - 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

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

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 'til the mornin' light

the mornin' light

And he kissed me 'til the mornin' 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
