Annie Lennox | Love Song for a Vampire

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 oh love...)
Still falls the rain
(Love oh love oh love oh love...)
Still falls the night
(Love oh love oh love oh love...)
Be mine forever
(Love oh love oh love oh love...)

Let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of heaven's laid
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.
