Spellbound
You
and I
are of one mind.
The
odd and non-sensical kind.
Where
all
the colors do
combine
And
every shape is undefined
Of
the senses I have five
Somehow each
is more alive.
I'll stop at nothing
I confide
To
be right there by your
side
I'll
teach the tulips
how to sing
Demand
the mountains to take wing.
I'd
swallow the sea
to
bring you to me
I'd
govern the wind
to
taste of your skin
I'd
fold up the continent
control
lunar alignment
And
if you were the man on the moon
I'd
use a bouquet of balloons
Every map I'd redesign
All
of this to make
you mine
This
is crazy I confess
No explaining it; unless
In
a potion I have drown
Irrevocably Spellbound

Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay.
Love
isn't love 'til you give it away.
