as Stevie Nix once said "this is a song about a witch".. perhaps. In any case, as straight up power pop song with haunting overtones.

Story behind the song
an update of a song I originally penned in 2003 - the intro and outro are samples from The Enchanter by Robert Plant, which I felt melded nicely with the mystical theme of being caught in the spell of love.
Lyrics
shadows reach out for me
I feel them every day
when leaves are rustling in the stillness
and trees begin to sway
spectres fill the empty streets
nothing feels the same
a cold wind starts howling
it's calling out your name
clock hands running backwards
twisting on the whim of your schemes
telling tales of distant pasts
the secrets told in dreams
Angelique, queen of the night
captured me in her spell
left me here to wait for her
in this special kind of hell
will you ever release me Angelique?
Aren't you tired of playing with my life?
Is there still a hope for me Angelique?
Will you own me till the day I die?
She kissed me on a full moon night
and ever since nothing feels right
Will you ever love me Angelique?
