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 till the mornin' light, the mornin' light And he kissed me till the mornin' light
Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head Ate a slice of wonder bread, 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
She is my rock and my rolling thunder I've been the spell she was under I, I love that girl She is my cigarettes and champagne She's got me strung but I'm not running I, I love that girl I, I love that girl She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait She is the flame and the fire she's raging I've been the spark and the war she's waging I, I love that girl She came along and she spoke so sweetly Changed everything, took my heart completely I, I love that girl I, I love that girl She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait And the city buzz and empty cars It's 3 a.m. I wonder where you are And the crooked smiles and worn out miles between us Now I wonder where you are She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait
