  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
