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 (1)________ we first met
Samson went (2)________ to bed
Not much hair (3)________ on his head
He ate a (4)__________ of (5)____________ bread
And went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't (6)______________ us
And the bible didn't mention us, not (7)________ once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars (8)________ fallin' on our heads
But they're (9)________ old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long (10)________ we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me (11)________ my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
(Oh) I cut his hair (12)____________ one night
A (13)________ 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 (14)____________ me 'til the mornin' light
Samson (15)________ back to bed
Not much hair (16)________ on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and (17)________ (18)__________ (19)________ to bed
(Oh), we couldn't bring the (20)______________ down
(Yeah) we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the (21)__________ didn't mention us, not (22)________ once
You are my sweetest downfall
I (23)__________ you first
