Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
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
