Spellbound

Spellbound - Judy Collins

Composed by：Judy Collins

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
