Magician Magician take me upon your wings
|
and... gently roll the clouds away
|
I'm sorry so sorry I have no incantations
|
only words to help sweep me away
|
|
I want some magic to sweep me away
|
I want some magic to sweep me away
|
I want to count to five
|
turn around and find myself gone
|
Fly through the storm
|
and wake up in the calm
|
|
Release me from the body
|
from this bulk that moves beside me
|
Let me leave this body far away
|
I'm sick of looking at me
|
I hate this painful body
|
that disease has slowly worm away
|
|
Magician take my spirit
|
inside I'm young and vital
|
Inside I'm alive please take me away
|
So many things to do - it's too early
|
For my life to be ending
|
For this body to simply rot away
|
|
I want some magic to keep me alive
|
I want a miracle... I don't want to die
|
I'm afraid that if I go to sleep I'll never wake
|
I'll no longer exist
|
I'll close my eyes and disappear
|
and float into the mist
|
|
Somebody... please hear me
|
my hand can't hold a cup of coffee
|
My fingers are weak - things just fall away
|
Inside I'm young and pretty
|
Too many things unfinished
|
My very breath taken away
|
|
Doctor you're no magician - and I am no believer
|
I need more than faith... can give me now
|
I want to believe in miracles - not just belief in numbers
|
I need some magic to take me away
|
|
I want some magic to sweep me away
|
Visit on this starlit night
|
replace the stars the moon the light - the sun's gone
|
Fly me through this storm
|
and wake up in the calm...
|
I fly right through this storm
|
and... I... Wake... Up... In... The... Calm
|
