I like it    I don't like it

when you hear me calling your name in the night
do you run to your window
thinking a coyote might be howling?
when you hear me knocking at your door again
do you tell yourself
it's only the wind that's blowing?
when you watch the sun sink down in the west
do you tell yourself
that the heart in your chest is still beating?

will you know or must I tell you?
this is my lover's 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

when you feel my fingers touch your skin again
do you tell yourself there's just no use in crying?
when the stars in the sky begin to fade
do you tell yourself
don't be afraid, it's just the night that's dying?

will you know or must I tell you?
this is my lover's spell you have fallen into, my dear
my voice is all you'll hear
only the sound of my heart pounding, darling
