Spellbound
Windy day in Honolulu
Looking out beyond the hills
Memories and times of heartache, lays of lilies, daffodils
Here I lighted like a bird, upon the bright blue water's shore
With my hope and with my nightmares
Praying I could swim and soar
Dark dreams, haunted sunlit days
While I drank down rum and hope
Burning dreams and crimson lovers
Dancing on a thin tightrope
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
Birds of paradise were walking
As though they were angel's songs
Bright wings flew along the beaches
In their shimmering sarongs
And I thought that I would see them so content and so serene
How could I find that surrender?
I could fly, but I would scream
Fighting out of beauty's trance
In the light of sand and water
Knowing I would crawl the highways
Finding my own kind of slaughter
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
How I longed to seeing the day
Doing what I saw you do
How you lived and danced in light
Yearning to know what life knew
Whittled down, the drinking gone
To whimper towards the sight of land
Hungering to sail in water
Bright with promise, deep in sand
In these islands, once I wept
For the lost and for the found
Surfacing in air and light
Now I live, and I am spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound (spellbound)
Spellbound (spellbound)
Spellbound (spellbound)
Spellbound
Looking out beyond the hills
Memories and times of heartache, lays of lilies, daffodils
Here I lighted like a bird, upon the bright blue water's shore
With my hope and with my nightmares
Praying I could swim and soar
Dark dreams, haunted sunlit days
While I drank down rum and hope
Burning dreams and crimson lovers
Dancing on a thin tightrope
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
Birds of paradise were walking
As though they were angel's songs
Bright wings flew along the beaches
In their shimmering sarongs
And I thought that I would see them so content and so serene
How could I find that surrender?
I could fly, but I would scream
Fighting out of beauty's trance
In the light of sand and water
Knowing I would crawl the highways
Finding my own kind of slaughter
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
How I longed to seeing the day
Doing what I saw you do
How you lived and danced in light
Yearning to know what life knew
Whittled down, the drinking gone
To whimper towards the sight of land
Hungering to sail in water
Bright with promise, deep in sand
In these islands, once I wept
For the lost and for the found
Surfacing in air and light
Now I live, and I am spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound
Spellbound (spellbound)
Spellbound (spellbound)
Spellbound (spellbound)
Spellbound
