Neko Case

Hex

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 the sun in the sky sinks down in the west
Do you tell yourself 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
