A long time ago I knew that you were mine
We met in a bar smelling of sweat and stale wine
Young and foolish I fell for all your boyish charms
Your green eyes and slicked back dyed black hair
You wore all black and spoke of things I had never known
A modern love so strange and new
Country borders and thrashing oceans had no meaning
You stole my heart, I fell so hard
The way you look at me, so deep into my soul
I know you can hear my heart beating, my blood pumping
I hear your breath, so deep and even, so comforting and near
Young and not so innocent, we grew to know
The secrets inside we dare not bare
Never will I forget the love stories and whispers in my ear
Walking through a frost bitten park
You warmed my heart with tales of vampires and wolves
We found love in the music of rebels
Boys singing of cadilacs, booze and dope sick girls
This bond we share so deep and dear
That one great love of which we always hear
I found it in a small hick town
Building empires in our hearts
Hold me close, hold me near
Promise to never let go
Until next to my deathbed you rejoice
The one thing pure and true
Amongst the bastards and filth
We shared it all
Thick and thin
