Magic Man 03:27
A magic man he came to town to tread the boards once more He dreamed of all the better times when channels were just four Whilst wandering the high street before his show began He viewed two strangers talking and conjured up a plan Abracadabra , alakazam Pull the rabbit from the hat Was it this card in your hand? Wave the wand, now count with me, 1, 2, 3 Now that's what I call magic, there's nothing up my sleeve Bruised and battered by rings of tradition Scarred to the soul by the past Hearts secured with a padlock keys thrown away just in case you ask It was magic that bought us together Serendipity some would say Two strangers collide in the heart of mankind Conjured up on the 23rd day Abracadabra , alakazam Pull the rabbit from the hat, Was it this card in your hand? Wave the wand, now count with me, 1, 2, 3 Now that's what I call magic, there's nothing up my sleeve In the season of goodwill and kindness Comes a story of heartwarming love Sliding doors you could say could have altered the way But for the magic man there in the room From 74 to 92 His act would mesmerize But he had one last trick up his sleeve Before his sad demise Abracadabra , alakazam Pull the rabbit from the hat Was it this card in your hand? Wave the wand, now count with me, 1, 2, 3 Now that's what I call magic, there's nothing up my sleeve Now that's what I call magic, there's nothing up my sleeve A magic man he came to town to tread the boards once more He dreamed of all the better times when channels were just four Whilst wandering the high street before his show began He viewed two strangers talking and conjured up a plan

Is it midweek or the Sabbath, is it morning or afternoon? Is the tide on the rise, will we see England soon? Months afloat in this salt soaked coat with rats for company The greys and browns provoke me in the harshest lonely sea Wind noise carries voices, rigging amplifies the chat A high pitched wine of dead men brought up from the black I cup my hands across my ears, like a shell I hear the sea No escape from the torment, my loved ones will I see Hold on tight, the waves are getting high Hold on tight there's danger in the sky Can you see the harbour lights of Southwold shine so bright Are we going home tonight? My mind clears with the weather, relief from dead man's woe I stare holes in the decking as I think of all I know My children, wife and mother all standing at the door The nightmares cease with my feet upon the shingle covered shore Hold on tight, the waves are getting high Hold on tight there's danger in the sky Can you see the harbour lights of Southwold shine so bright We're coming home tonight So now I'm back on dry land, the ship is tethered strong Safely in the harbour, I hear the Sirens' song Although the sea is calling me I know she is my foe I'm never going back again, I'm stronger than you know Hold on tight, the waves are getting high Hold on tight there's danger in the sky Can you see the harbour lights of Southwold shine so bright We're coming home tonight
