Hear me calling your name in the night
                                       
to run to your window thinking a coyote might
   
be howling
                            
Hear me knocking at your door again
                             
to tell yourself its only the wind
      
thats blowing
                                   
The sun in the sky sinks down in the west
                                       
to tell yourself that the heart in your chest
         
is still beating
                           
Will you know or must I tell you
                                      
this is my lovers spell you have fallen into
                               
my dear, my voice is all, you'll hear
                                    
Only the sound of my heart pounding darling

You took my heart, cast it aside, laughed when I cried
                        
like it was just no big deal
                         
and here all alone in the dark
                    
I know just how you feel

      

                           
Feel my fingers on your skin again
                                  
to tell yourself its just no use in crying
                            
The stars in the sky begin to fade
                                             
to tell yourself don't be afraid its just the night
      
thats dying
                           
Will you know or must I tell you
                                      
this is my lovers spell you have fallen into
                               
my dear, my voice is all, you'll hear
