Presto

If I could wave my magic wand.



I am made from the dust of the stars

And the oceans flow in my veins

Here I hide in the heart of the city

Like a stranger coming out of the rain.



The evening plane rises up from the runway

Over constellations of light

I look down into a million houses

And wonder what you're doing tonight.



If I could wave my magic wand

I'd make everything all right.



I'm not one to believe in magic

But I sometimes have a second sight

I'm not one with a sense of proportion

When my heart still changes overnight.



I had a dream of a winter garden

A midnight rendezvous

Silver, blue, and frozen silence

What a fool I was for you.



I had a dream of the open water

I was swimming away out to sea

So deep I could never touch bottom

What a fool I used to be.



If I could wave my magic wand

I'd set everybody free.



I'm not one to believe in magic

Though my memory has a second sight

I'm not one to go pointing my finger

When I radiate more heat than light.



Don't ask me, I'm just improvising

My illusion of careless flight

Can't you see my temperature's rising

I radiate more heat than light.



Don't ask me I'm just sympathizing

My illusions a harmless flight

Can't you see my temperature's rising

I radiate more heat than light.
