one,
two,
three...
...you're under my spell
counting seconds from now to infinity,
you're bound to me.

invisible chains, no, i'm no witch
just a charmer, more than a pretty face,
and less of a golden-hearted character from your favorite bedtime story.

three,
two,
one...
... i'm falling out
wear that choker and chase me
to the depths of the earth.

counting seconds from infinity to now,
you're bound to me; just another cursed heart.

I keep thinking about all the things we could become,
about adventures we would put in our pockets,
and watch the dark capture the sun.

But I’m sure you don’t know how I feel,
but it’s not you who is spellbound,
since it’s you who spins the wheel.

I know you, yet you are still a stranger,
it’s rather funny the way we met,
but now I sense the inevitable danger.

Sometimes we don’t talk for a while
yet I still wonder how you’re doing,
and then I can’t stop to smile.

To be honest I would like to run away,
but you keep me tied to your wrist,
without hearing the words I have to say.

I think we have a lot of calamity in us,
yet it seems to hurt me the most,
so hit me with your best shot.

**And take my breath away for the last time.

I do wail at times, but you make me cry harder
I do smile at life, but you make my smile wider
You cast a spell on me
I am spellbound

Bharti

Opposites, they say, attract;
but would the law of magnetism works in this case?
The gap between us reminds me of the rivers;
Niger and Benue
How they must have, long fantasized
the exhilarating comfort of a closer bond
"If only we come close" the waves whisper
"If only we come close"
Then we can dance to the beats of the current
responding to impulse by the peaceful sea breeze
If only we come close

If only we come close
The skies will smile again
As vapors of passion come together,
To form clouds of affection above
Then rain down showers of love upon us  
Watering the tender seeds in our passion
to grow into giant cedars of  unshakable Union  
If only we come close

If only we come close
You wouldn't need a name
Because you in me and I in you
would make us one and the same
If our streams must overflow
then it would be to transport tears of joy
For our willing hearts will  flow in love
If only we come close

If only we come close
Our season shall know no end
for a thousand generations
Our path will never bend
It shall cause happiness to reign
among both enemy and friend
My wish of a dream come true
If only we come close
