Here is an alluring tale of a beautiful lady vampire on the prowl for some new “lasting love”. The moral to the story is : to … think twice, if she wants to take you for a ride on a merry-go-round. Buckle up…if you do!  Once you get on, you never get off.

Vampire Music Anyone? Happy Halloween!

VERSE 1

A whisper woke me in the dead of night

Took my hand and said,  “Let’s go for a ride”.

Flew me up to the top of a hill 

And pointed to the town below, quiet and still

Said, “See those flames, those are hearts on fire.

Those puffs of smoke that’s love that’s expired.

See those shapes you can’t see through?

Those are hearts that are black and blue.” 

 

LIFT

A single tear can turn a flame to dust

Or revive a heart that’s trampled and crushed

Where’s the answer, one I can use? 

So I don’t continue to lose

It’ s time to choose

 

REFRAIN

“Cause if I live a life that is un-true

Then I will live a life that’s black and blue

 

VERSE 2

Then we drifted to the heart of town

Drawn to the colored lights of a merry-go-round

Watched painted ponies gliding up and down

She said, “Hmm, which one would you choose?”

Well, if love’s a journey of goodbyes and hellos

And moments of passion that come and then go

I’ll choose the colors that take me to you

And stay away from the ponies painted black and blue

 

LIFT

I hesitated till I finally let go

Like sunflowers rising from the snow

My heart awakened and pushed back the cold

When you showed the way to break through

So, I’ll never lose

 

REFRAIN

Cause if I live a life that is untrue

Then I will live a life without you

And if I give a love that is not true

Then I will live a life that’s black and blue

That’s black and blue

That’s black and blue

That’s black and blue
