When You Shook Your Long Hair Down

  • Tom Paxton

    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
    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
    When you shook your long hair down
    I saw one hope of heaven

    I was left without a chance
    No hope of a returning
    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
    In your eyes I saw a glance
    Of all my bridges burning

    Repeat 1
