Spellbound

In the cove of the seahouse he burnt his cradle down
He watched it breathe and cough
In a bed of ghosts and dead skin
We kill the clock and kiss
I touch you and open you
And deep in your darkest wounds I place my loneliness

All asleep and blessed and prayed
My own head awash with waves
Everything is set in place

I watch for you and the light in your room
The ground is warm after the storm
I sleep in your shirt and smile in dreams
I'm deeper than I've ever been

I am spellbound, I have been charmed
Right where I stand
My soul is an old coat ablaze with love

Lover, I call to you
