That Old Spell

I knew better than to call you. But the night had other plans. Your voice came through the telephone Like music from a different band. I said things I'd kept locked up. You laughed the way you used to do. And suddenly the years between us Didn't mean a thing or two. It's that old spell you cast on me. The one I thought I'd broken free. But here I am at midnight's door Wanting what I can't have anymore. That old spell still works just fine Even though you're no longer mine. You told me how your life turned out. The husband and the house upstate. I told you I was doing well, Though neither of us bought the bait. We talked about the summer of fifty-two When everything seemed possible. Before the world got complicated And love became impossible. It's that old spell You cast on me. The one I thought I'd broken free. But here I am at midnight's door Wanting what I can't have Anymore. That old spell still works just fine Even though you're no longer mine. I should hang up now. I should let you go. But your voice is honey, And I'm moving slow. It's that old spell you cast on me. The one I thought I'd broken free. But here I am at midnight's door Wanting what I can't have Anymore. That old spell still works just Fine Even though you're no longer mine. No, you're no longer mine.
