lyrics

* I was born of love - & I trust it every time - & I've never known how to leave its world behind - so I wa sir fool - for you knew me to be blind - you knew that I would fall to yr design - you knew how easily you'd hypnotise .
* yr the spell that must break - yr the spell I can't shake - & you spell my mistake - I was bewitched by yr ardour - yr the spell I can't break - yr the spell .
*there are many prayers that I'd whisper like a truth - but I do not dare - for I'd longed to be with you - I let myself be snared - as a willing victim who knew - I knew so very well you'd mesmerise me n leave me there - for yr the spell .
