The Lady And The Vampire
Familiar face catches my eye
Oh, how I haven't seen you in a pretty long time
I remember your name, do you remember mine
She says 'your face is a picturebook, the title sticks in my mind'
Must be about 80 years since she's seen me last
Very little's changed from her view, but time has passed
As I'm working the graveyard shift in her resting castle
She asks me to sit down by her bedside, if it's not too much hasslе

And she looks at me
And says I haven't agеd a day
Does she know I haven't, does she know I haven't
And she asks me to stay
And I oblige willingly
Does she know I haven't, does she know I haven't
Aged at all

I offer the swiftness of an everlasting bite
But she's living in misery so she thinks she'll decline
But it's oh so lonely, all of the time
So I open up the curtains in the middle of the night
We're doing fine
Old youth at peace, growing hand in mine
We're doing fine
And we're falling asleep, we're not scared of the light
And she looked at me
And said I hadn't aged a day
Cuz she knows I haven't, cuz she knows I haven't
And she asked me to stay
And I obliged willingly
And she knows I haven't, and she knows I haven't
Aged at all
Aged at all

But growing comes with life and I've gotta grow soon
Because I'm feeling so past it but I've never outgrown these shoes
And as the sun comes up I know I don't have to choose
Because one day the growing stops, and there's nothing you can do
At least we'll be together, not so lonely anymore
We're not fearful of the burning stars, it's the key to the final door
And as the sun comes up I know I don't have to choose
Because we haven't grown in years, and we've no more growing to do

And she looks at me
Before we close our eyes
We're ready to go
We know it's our time
And as the room casts a thick black mist that falls into the air
The lady and the vampire lie asleep without a care
