SPELLBOUND:
Yeah, Nova Scotia, I like the way you are...
First time I looked, you were skin-deep in my mind
A face I’d seen before, on dozens of your kind
So you waited ‘til I slipped up, when I let down my guard
You rose up from the sea and gripped me hard
Look what you’ve done, see the web you’ve spun
I see the way you look, the way you move
Oh yeah
I’m believing in you
Should I tell you that I love you one more time?
When you already know how much...
Can’t be too long without your smile
Without your touch
When I lean into the wind, where secrets are revealed
The more you help me understand, the more you keep concealed
If I ask a thousand questions, you just tell me what you please
I know the answer is whatever I believe
So, down I go to Old Joe’s Cove
To feed my soul on magic in the air
Oh yeah
We have some secrets to share
Should I tell you that I love you one more time?
When you already know how much...
Can’t be too long without your smile
Without your touch
Look what you’ve done to me
Look what you do to me
You wrap yourself around me
like a halo around a light
like a blanket in the night
like spray from a fountain
snow on a mountain
something that just feels right
Spellbound
You call me Spellbound, I call you Home
Yeah, Spellbound
You call me Spellbound, I call you Home
Yeah, Nova Scotia
I like the way you are
A million blazing chisels
Carved your beauty and your scars
And I love to hear you whisper
While I wait to hear you roar
But it only lasts a moment
Then you clear your sky once more
So ask me why I stay here
Why I’ll never leave your side
You bring me close to perfect peace
By an ocean wild and wide
You call me Spellbound, I call you Home
