Vampire, Hold Me Tight Lyrics - Year Of The Horse - The Mighty Stef

I knew we'd dream the world a better place, 

and in the blackened windows, 

I'd pray the sunlight shine. 

You save your sorrows for a thousand days, 

now on my darkened doorstep 

there stands no friend of mine. 

Each bite I take it brings me closer to death 

and in an age of nothing 

I wish for something still. 

This world, the bible, pills and smiley faces, 

the Lord calls shotgun 

you must do his crooked will. 

Vampire, hold me tight. 

Let the spirit of your sadness 

growl a howl into the night, 

vampire, hold me tight, 

may your mystifying madness be my guiding light. 

(mystifying madness) 

Well it's not hard to say 

but it's so hard to do 

the vampire chases me 

but I will see her through. 

And on your templed night 

when nothing seemed quite right 

you took that sacred right 

and ran towards the light. 

And in the blackened blues 

by the silver reed 

beneath the golden sun 

you were the saddest one.
