When You Shook Your Long Hair Down

When you shook your long hair down
When you sat beside me
All my terrors came to town
And they began to ride me
I was left without a word
I lost my situation
Oh when you shook your long hair down
You shook my whole foundation
When you shook your long hair down
My defences crumbled
Feeling I’d begun to drown
All my words got jumbled
Not a word would come to mind
I felt a child of seven, oh
When you shook your long hair down
I saw one hope of heaven
I was left without a chance
No hope of a returning
Oh in your eyes I saw a glance
Of all my bridges burning
You know you were hardly fair
You’d already won me
With my heart already there
You had to go and stun me
Took the ribbon in your hand
Pulled it till it parted
When you shook your long hair down
You know what you started
I was left without a chance
No hope of a returning
Oh in your eyes I saw a glance
Of all my bridges burning
Yes when you shook your long hair down
When you sat beside me
All my terrors came to town
And they began to ride me
I was left without a word
I lost my situation — oh
When you shook your long hair down
You shook my whole foundation
When you shook your long hair down
You shook my whole foundation
