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.
