She was my sweetest downfall
I loved her first, I loved her first beneath
The sheets of paper lies my truth
I had to go, I had to go
Her hair was long when we first met
She went back to bed
Not much hair left on her head
Ate a slice of Wonder bread and
Went right back to bed
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn’t mention us
Not even once
She is my sweetest downfall
I loved her first, I loved her first beneath
The stars came falling on our hats
But they were just old light, they were just old light
Her hair was long when we first met
She came all the way back
Told me that my hair was black
Told me I was beautiful and
Came into my bed
Oh I cut her hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And she told me that I’d done alright
And kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
And she kissed me till the morning light
She went back to bed
Not much hair left on her 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 the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn’t mention us
Not even once
She was my sweetest downfall
I loved her first
