The Air Between Us

is still

but soon will drift

(the years, the days,
the hours)

to somewhere else
and so much would have been lost
the moment we decide

not to be strangers
anymore.

By then I would have gone
or you, yes, why not you?
and all we--you, and I--
will be left with

are shadows
digging in agony
for that place in our minds
where we are not

strangers.

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 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
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 falling on our heads
But they're just soft light, they're just soft light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
He told me i was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me till the morning light, the morning light
and he kissed me till the morning light

Samson came 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
