The Place Where Art, Fashion, & Music MingleWaiting In Vain
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I’m way down on your line
But the waiting feeling’s fine
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string
Because I know how to do my thing
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb
I wanna know when you’re gotta come, you see
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
‘Cause summer is here - and I’m still waiting there
Winter is here - and I’m still waiting there
Like I said -
It’s been three years since I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy - is it crazy look, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
You see
In life I know that there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waitin’
While I’m waitin’ for my turn
You see
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love
‘Cause summer is here - and I’m still waiting there
Winter is here - and I’m still waiting there
Like I said -
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna wait in vain
It’s been three years since I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy, ooh boy - is it crazy look, I wanna know now
Like I said -
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting
While I’m waiting for my turn
You see
Ooh boy, ooh boy - is it crazy look, I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Something So Right
You’ve got the cool water
When the fever runs high
And you’ve got the look of love right in your eyes
And I was in a crazy motion
‘Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
Some people never say the words ‘I love you’
It’s not their style to be so bold
Some people never say the words ‘I love you’
But like a child they’re longing to be told
They’ve got a wall in China
It’s a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They made it strong
And I’ve got a wall around me
That you can’t even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
If something goes worng, I’m the first to admit it
The first to admit it - but the last one to know
If something goes right, well, it’s likely to lose me
It’s apt to confuse me
Because it’s such an unusual sight, oh
I can’t get used to something so right
Something so right
Some people never say the words ‘I love you’
It’s not their style to be so bold
Some people never say the words ‘I love you’
But like a child I’m longing to be told
They’ve got a wall in China…
And I’ve got a wall around me…
Yea
It took a little time
To get next to me

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…
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
