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
