Vampires And Lovers Songtext

von Judith Owen

I read a story
A familiar tale
Fireside folklore
Passed down through the ages
Women in velvet
Their lovers in black
The heat of a kiss
On the nape of a neck

And turning the pages
I entered the dream
White shirts
Full skirts
On the streets of old Orleans
I felt the passion
The danger within
I longed for romance
I longed for sin

Vampires and lovers
We are who we are

Vampires and lovers
They're really not so far apart
We're vampires and lovers
We do as we please
Love me
Drink me slowly
Kiss me till I
Bleed

Haven't you loved someone
With such a rage
You're criminal
Criminal
Freed from your mortal cage
Just for one second
Both beauty and plague
For the life that you love
For the flesh that you crave

Vampires and lovers
We are who we are
Vampires and lovers
They're really not so far apart
We're vampires nand lovers
We do as we please
Love me
Drink me slowly
Kiss me till I
Bleed.
