The Vampire Lyrics
Shall I tell you of the night
It was long ago
Late November and the snow
Just about to fall
And the moon was big and bright
Cold and sharp and clear
And the air was biting
Softly, swiftly down the road -
Never made a sound-
Someone came from far away
As I looked into his eyes
No reflections came
And I gave him bedding
Oh my little rosary
How I miss you so
Never used you very well
Now I never will.
I am farther from you now
Than the two ends of Eternity
Now I do his bidding.
It was long ago
Late November and the snow
Just about to fall
Cold and sharp and clear
And the air was biting
Never made a sound-
Someone came from far away
No reflections came
And I gave him bedding
How I miss you so
Never used you very well
Now I never will.
Than the two ends of Eternity
Now I do his bidding.

Just a correction -- the third stanza ends "someone came from far away / someone tall and old".
Found this song on Illuminations which happened to be the first Buffy St Marie Album I discovered. 1 missing lines just before As I looked into his eyes no reflection came and I gave him bedding\n\nThis album actually has 2 vampire songs according to Ms. Sainte Marie: she subtitles Reynardine "A Vampire Legend".
The earlier comment from threedwolfscream supplies the missing line: Someone stal and old"". \n\nGeniulyrics shows the missing line, Azlyrics (I think -- first place I looked, and AZlyrics is my usual weapon of choice for reference during performance - less advertising clutter or post download surgery.
