The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

An only child alone and wild, a cabinet makers son

His hands were meant for different work

and his heart was known to none

He left his home and went his lone and solitary way

and he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay

A quiet man of music denied a simpler fate

he tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn't wait

he earned his love through discipline, a thundering velvet hand

his gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand

The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old

but his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul

my life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man

i'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band

My brothers lives were different for they heard another call

One went to chicago and the other to st paul

and i'm in Colorado when i'm not in some hotel

living out this life ive chose and come to know so well

I thank you for the music and your stories of the road

I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go

I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough

and Papa I don't think I said I love you near enough

The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old

but his bloood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul

my life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man

Im just a living legacy to the leader of the band

I am the living legacy to the leader of the band

He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend when she said

"There's someone you should meet."

At a crowded restaurant way 'cross town,

he waited impatiently.



She walked in, their eyes met, and they both stared.

And right there and then, everyone else disappeared,



But one boy, and one girl,

two hearts beating wildly.

To put it mildly, it was love at first sight.

He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away

that this was the day they'd waited for all their lives.

And for a moment the whole world

revolved around one boy and one girl.



In no time at all they were standing there, in the front of a little church,

among their friends and family, repeating those sacred words.

Preacher said, "Son kiss your bride" and he raised her veil.

And like the night they met, time just stood still



For one boy, and one girl,

two hearts beating wildly.

To put it mildly, it was love at first sight.

He smiled, and she smiled, and they knew right away

that this was the day they'd waited for all their lives.

For a moment the whole world

revoloved around one boy and one girl.



He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned

"Congratulations. Twins..."



One boy, one girl.

Two hearts beting wildly.

To put it mildly it was love at first sight.

He smiled, and she smiled,

and they knew right away

that this was the day they'd waited for all their lives.

For a moment the whole world revoloved around one boy and one girl

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923

Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me

He said boy you might not understand

But a long, long time ago

Grandma's daddy didn't like me none

But I love your grandma so



We had this crazy plan to meet

And run away together

Get married in the first town we came to and live forever

But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead

I found this letter

And this is what it said



If you get there before I do

Don't give up on me

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

And between now and then ‘til I see you again

I'll be loving you, love me



I read those words just hours before my grandma past away

In the door way of a church

Where me and grandpa stopped to pray

I know I'd never seen him cry in all my 15 years

But as he said these words to her

His eyes filled up with tears



If you get there before I do

Don't give up on me

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

And between now and then ‘til I see you again

I'll be loving you, love me

Between now and then ‘til I see you again

I'll be loving you, love me

He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder

He said he had to find himself out on the road

I guess when love goes wrong

You've gotta learn to be strong

So I worked two jobs

And I moved three times

I ended up south of Memphis, workin' down in Riverside

I may not be so lucky in love

But the one thing I'm sure of

I want a man that stands beside me

Not in front of or behind me

Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me

And I'll give all the love in my heart

Stand beside me

Be true, don't tell lies to me

I'm not lookin' for a fantasy

I want a man that who stands beside me

I didn't expect to see him, one hot July morning

His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue

He said, "I've missed you for so long. Oh baby, what can I do?"

I said, "I want a man that stands beside me

Not in front of or behind me

Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me

And I'll give all the love in my heart."

Oh, it's hard to

Tell him, "No" when I want him so bad

But I've got to be true to my heart

This time

I'm not lookin' for a fantasy

I want a man who stands beside me

I want a man

Who stands beside me

One day shy of eight years old,

When grandma passed away.

I was a broken hearted little boy,

Blowing out that birthday cake.

How I cried when the sky let go,

With a cold lonesome rain.

My mom smiled, said: "Don't be sad child.

"Grandma's watching you today."



"'Cos there's holes in the floor of Heaven,

"And her tears are pouring down.

"That's how you know she's watching,

"Wishing she could be here now.

"An' sometimes if you're lonely,

"Just remember she can see.

"There's holes in the floor of Heaven

"And she's watching over you and me."



Seasons come and seasons go,

Nothing stays the same.

I grew up, fell in love,

Met a girl who took my name.

Year by year, we made a life,

In this sleepy little town.

I thought we'd grow old together,

Lord, I sure do miss her now.



But there's holes in the floor of Heaven,

And her tears are pouring down.

That's how I know she's watching,

Wishing she could be here now.

An' sometimes when I'm lonely,

I remember she can see.

There's holes in the floor of Heaven,

And she's watching over you and me.



Well my little girl is 23,

I walk her down the aisle.

It's a shame her Mom can't be here now,

To see her lovely smile.

They throw the rice, I catch her eye,

As the rain starts coming down.

She takes my hand; says: "Daddy don't be sad,

'Cos I know Mama's watching now."



"And there's holes in the floor of Heaven

"And her tears are pouring down.

"That's how you know she's watching,

"Wishing she could be here now.

"An' sometimes when I'm lonely,

"I just remember she can see.

"Yes, there's holes in the floor of Heaven,

"And she's watching over you and me."



Watching over you and me.



Watching over you and me.



Watching over you and me.
