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
( F# )
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
( F# )
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
G#m F# B F# E---(Fading away)
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
