Presto — Rush

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
