Beyond These City Lights
L Sorensen, I Crawford, J Kathan ©2006 Vampire Luvsongs
Sing me to sleep
With your eyes so bright and deep
And a better love, couldn’t fall from above
With you is where I’ll always be
Will you follow me tonight?
Far beyond across the sky
And if I could I’d take you higher
Far beyond these city lights
Draw a way to say
What I’ve been thinking every day
And if I could I’d stand as strong as any man
Would you be my only way?
I don’t know if you can hear
Show me all that’s in your eyes
I’ll take my past away and change my life
If you’d only let me try
I don’t know if you can see
We both know that love is blind
And with that I give you everything that I feel
Far beyond these city lights
Will you follow me tonight?
Far beyond across the sky
And if I could I’d take you higher
Far beyond these city lights

Ian, Jeff and I wrote the music in about 15 minutes at my studio in November of '06. We've never had a problem writing quickly.
We recorded the bed a few weeks later at Digital Insight in Las Vegas. Matt Spy was engineering.
Ian wrote the words and I fell in love with them immediately. They felt like they came from my own heart. Very mature for an 18-year old kid!
After a bad day, where the only hope left was the light of the next day...at around 4 AM, I cut the vocal track in my studio. Half asleep, leaning far back in my office chair, I grabbed my mic and sang from my soul. My voice is like a parachute, dragging effortlessly behind the music

You spin my heart on the tip of your finger;
Have another drink and drown our love
You turn around and act so luvy-duvy;
I swing my bat like a Willy McCovey;
Make me feel light and all luvy-duvy too
Let me go;
Or chain me up and let me die;
Shut the door;
I don’t want you to see me cry;
Let me go;
Or chain me up and let me die;
Let’s go to the ball on the hill;
Let’s see if you can give it a kill;
It’s just a matter of mind and will;
Don’t you act so luvy-duvy;
Glue me up like a twisted hobby;
You make me act so luvy-duvy too
Let me go;
Or chain me up and let me die;
Shut the door;
I don’t want you to see me cry;
Let me go;
Or chain me up and let me die;
Don’t you know I’ll always love you true;
Oh Eva;
Chain me up;

She'd given me everything I'd ever want with a blink of her eye...then take it all away with a swing of her sword. She'd write her set of rules and then break them all one by one. She'd lead me to her promise land and drop me to the dump. I couldn't imagine a life without her but couldn't live a second with her.Ah Eva...Joe simply wrote an amazing rhythm guitar line...quite frankly, the hook of the song. The rest was easy. Another song originally meant for Paul Rodgers....Lynn
