Philistine Queen​/​The Valley Of Sorek

from Samson & Delilah by The Vermeers

/

lyrics

I've seen you toil in the fields
Without horse, goat, or cow
You didn't need those to plow
You know my knees grew weak when I saw you pass by
And my heart it skipped a beat when you looked me in the eye

You introduced yourself
All tall, dark, and handsome
You said your name was Samson
We spent that whole night painting up the town
And when we parted ways I knew I'd see you around

To think that I'll betray you
When it started off so well
Guess you never can tell
Judgement is all cloudy when there's money on the line
Like a bee with honey or a drunkard with his wine

I soon left my valley
And we became as one
But it was ruined before it begun
If I could do it all over again, maybe I'd change my ways
And I would stand by your side until your dying day
