Spellbound
Ten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Midnight, chimes and the full moon climbs
But the clock is not alone
Something stirs in the west wing tower
Passion undiscovered isn’t flesh and bone
Until you turn it on

I wake up when my sweat turns cold
And she’s calling out my name
For there in the room like a strange apparition
Stands the kind of woman who can ease my pain
I just can’t fight it alone

Spellbound, in the breathless heat of night I ‘m falling
Spellbound, by the supernatural love I’ve found
Spellbound, for with every beat of I’m calling
Can you feel my desire
This restless soul

Her every touch turns me on so much
Every kiss time and time again
And when she moves every curve is a vision
Now I know I never want tonight to end
My fantasy, my reality

Spellbound, in the breathless heat of night I ‘m falling
Spellbound, by the supernatural love I’ve found
Spellbound, for with every beat of I’m calling
Can you feel my desire
This restless soul…

Spellbound, in the breathless heat of night I ‘m falling
Spellbound, when the power of love comes crashing down
Spellbound, when she brings me to my knees I’m crawling
Putting fuel on the fire
She takes control

She’s by my side when the cruel sunrise
Makes me watch her melt away
But we can be together if it takes until forever
Lady, I’ll be waiting when the daylight fades

When the daylight fades,
And night falls, I’m not alone





Spellbound…
