Cheri Knight

Spellbound 

Light shines through a crack in the door 
Lying awake as she stares at the moon 
Sees something over the rooftop 
Rears something inside of her room 
Deep in a dream she sees it 
Out in the field, a red pony to ride 
In the morning its footprints and ashes inside 

There's a man lying by the road face down 
Angles left no footprints on the ground 
She wakes, hears a voice two doors down 
Under the tree, gifts all around 
She's spellbound for a moment today 

There's a bonfire under the bridge 
Just light a match and the candle's aglow 
They sit on oak chairs at the table 
They sit in milk crates in the snow 
There's a whole world inside there 
A whole other world in the lights of the tree 
And that was the very last year she believed 

There's a man lying by the road face down 
Angels left no footprints on the ground 
She wakes, hears a voice two doors down 
And under the tree gifts all around 
She's spellbound for a moment today
