Magician, magician take me upon your wings |
[00:31.830] |
And gently roll the clouds away |
[00:44.317] |
I'm sorry, so sorry; I have no incantations |
[00:56.020] |
Only words to help sweep me away |
[01:05.319] |
I want some magic to sweep me away |
[01:10.517] |
I want some magic to sweep me away |
[01:14.540] |
I want to count to five |
[01:17.910] |
Turn around and find myself gone |
[01:25.277] |
Fly me through the storm |
[01:27.758] |
And wake up in the calm |
[01:36.535] |
Release me from this body |
[01:42.256] |
From this bulk that moves beside me |
[01:47.873] |
Let me leave this body far away |
[01:58.426] |
I'm sick of looking at me |
[02:04.042] |
I hate this painful body |
[02:09.528] |
That disease has slowly worn away |
[02:19.507] |
Magician, take my spirit |
[02:25.646] |
Inside I'm young and vital |
[02:29.590] |
Inside I'm alive; please take me away |
[02:40.901] |
So many things to do; it's too early |
[02:47.406] |
For my life to be ending |
[02:52.944] |
For this body to simply rot away |
[03:01.799] |
I want some magic to keep me alive |
[03:06.762] |
I want a miracle; I don't want to die |
[03:11.229] |
I'm afraid that if I go to sleep I'll never wake |
[03:14.860] |
I'll no longer exist |
[03:21.104] |
I'll close my eyes and disappear |
[03:23.507] |
And float into the mist |
[04:14.367] |
Somebody, please hear me |
[04:19.644] |
My hand can't hold a cup of coffee |
[04:23.928] |
My fingers are weak, things just fall away |
[04:35.631] |
Inside I'm young and pretty |
[04:41.561] |
Too many things unfinished |
[04:47.726] |
My very breath taken away |
[04:57.339] |
Doctor, you're no magician, and I am no believer |
[05:07.317] |
I need more than faith can give me now |
[05:18.759] |
I want to believe in miracles, not just belief in numbers |
[05:28.607] |
I need some magic to take me away |
[05:38.299] |
I want some magic to sweep me away |
[05:47.990] |
Visit on this starlit night |
[05:50.420] |
Replace the stars, the moon, the light; the sun's gone |
[05:57.864] |
Fly me through this storm |
[06:00.033] |
And wake up in the calm |
[06:07.660] |
I fly right through this storm |
[06:10.586] |
And I wake up in the calm |
