Close your eyes - close the door

You don't have to worry any more

I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light - shut the shade

You don't have to be afraid

I'll be your baby tonight

Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away

We're gonna forget it

Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon

We're gonna let it - you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off - do not fear

Bring that bottle over here

I'll be your baby tonight

Be my baby

I'll be your baby tonight

Well, the mockingbird's gonna sail away

We're gonna forget it

Big old moon's gonna shine like a spoon

We're gonna let it - you won't regret it

Kick your shoes off - do not fear

Bring that bottle over here

I'll be your baby tonight

Songwriter - Bob Dylan

THE CARNIVAL IS OVER

I have just a simple song for you all from 1967, all the way from Australia (where my husband is), by The Seekers. I love this song, melancholy but so stirring, and Judith Durham, dressed in what looks like something from the archives of The Vampire’s Wife, is so touching. It is a song full of tears about the end of things and love’s enduring presence. We adore this song here at The Vampire’s Wife.

TIME AFTER TIME, LITTLE JIMMY SCOTT

Look at this heart-breaking piece of film of Little Jimmy Scott singing Time After Time and giving his thoughts on what a song is meant to be. He is a vast talent and a beautiful man; we met him at my husband’s Meltdown Festival in London in 1999.

TO DIE BY YOUR SIDE

I heard this wonderful version of The Smiths classic song "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" by the brilliantly ebullient Dum Dum Girls on the DJ Lonny’s amazing Cover to Cover on Radio Lewes this week. What a great show! What a superb song! What a joyful cover! ‘To die by your side is pleasure and a privilege’ indeed!
