The Magician
from the siren's odyssey cd

i met a magician
on my way
had plenty of wise ol’ guy things to say
& oh my magician
he followed me ‘round
kept my soul in the sky
& my feet on the ground
& he’d say

does life take you over? does love set you free?
or are you just another reckless river headed toward the sea?
do you take it all on? does love send you wild?
you can have it all & more, if you’d just believe in me, child

but i’d been listless & faithless, how could i know?
i’d been waiting a long long time for my ship to show
& i left my magician somewhere on the road
now he’s fallen over & i’m just getting old
he’d say, does life take you over…

he holds the key to every door
he’s keeper at the gate of all
for every bit of magic there’s more in store
every worn out delusion, some new solution

come some strange apparition, to tell you what’s so
you listen, just listen, magic you’ll know
life can take you over, love can set you free
we’re all just reckless rivers headed for the sea
take it all on, love can send you wild
you can have it all & more, if you just believe in it, child
