Song lyrics Samson by Regina Spektor

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 didnīt mention us
And the bible didnīt mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallinī on our heads
But theyīre just old light, theyīre 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 Iīd done alright
And kissed me ītil the morninī light, the morninī light
And he kissed me ītil the morninī 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 couldnīt bring the columns down
Yeah we couldnīt destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didnīt mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
