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 me 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
|
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
|
