Samson (Live at Sydney Opera House)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

[Verse 2]
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 he kissed me 'til the morning light, the morning light
And he kissed me 'til the morning light

[Verse 3]
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
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
No, we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

[Outro]
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
I loved you first
