Love Song For a Vampire

Annie Lennox

come into these arms again

and lay your body down

the rhythm of this trembling heart

is beating like a drum

it beats for you,

it bleeds for you

it knows not how it sounds

for it is the drum of drums

it is the song of songs

once I had the rarest rose

that ever deigned to bloom.

cruel winter chilled the bud

and stole my flower too soon.

oh loneliness, oh hopelessness

to search the ends of time

for there is in all the world

no greater love than mine.

love, oh love, oh love

still falls the rain (still falls the rain)

love, oh love, oh, love

still falls the night

love, oh love, oh love

be mine forever (be mine forever)

love, oh love, oh love

let me be the only one

to keep you from the cold

now the floor of heaven's lain

with stars of brightest gold

they shine for you, they shine for you

they burn for all to see

come into these arms again

and set this spirit free

THE END
