lyrics

The moon is brighter than the sun
My shadow is long as night and it follows me
As I drive your way
The tree hangs from the branches
The moon hangs from the sky
Water lies flat in the gutter
While a rose climbs up the staircase
And falls upon the landing
And falls upon the landing
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome, yeah, I could cry

Sometimes I come home at night, I'm glad that you are sleeping
So I don't have to pretend that you are thinking of me
Or something like that, in the middle of the night
She really is breathtaking as she lies there softly sleeping
Undisturbed, and I wish my breath, my voice, my touch
Could awaken her
Yeah, awaken her again

I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name
I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name

There really is no reason for the way that I am feeling
It could've been the weather
Or something less than that
I need to shed this old skin for something that's much lighter
Maybe different colors
Maybe not so tight
Maybe not so tight

I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name
I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name

It singes and it burns like a delicate veil
The pressure of her kiss
Feels like it's all over now
I never could jump from high enough
I never could jump from high enough
Third story jump ain't high enough
It's just a mess on Market Street

I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name
I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name

Palo Alto Hotel at Sacramento and Polk
The neighbors spend their days washing their socks
And staring out the window in a Thorazine haze
They don't know what to do with their hands
They vaguely remember some plans
But that was so long
That was so long ago

I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name
I'm under a spell, her name
Yeah, I spell her name

Alejandro Escovedo image

Alejandro Escovedo Austin, Texas

The 21st century has been a time of widely successful excursion through music that only a few American musicians get to create. Between adventurous solo albums, continuing collaborations with other musicians and an ever-growing sense of boundary-pushing, Alejandro Escovedo has created his own definition of what a modern rock artist can accomplish. ... more
