[Intro] |        |     |        |     | [Verse 1] Windy day in Honolulu Looking out beyond the hills Memories and times of heartache Leis 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 [Verse 2] Birds of paradise were walking As though they were angels’ songs Bright wings flew along the beaches In their shimmering sarongs  And I thought when 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 [Instrumental] | Asus2   | F#madd11 | Asus2   | Bsus4   | [Verse 3] How I longed to sing 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 [Outro] Spellbound spellbound spellbound spellbound
