LOU REED - Magician lyrics

rate me

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 this 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 worn 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
