Made to Love Magic

Made To Love Magic :

I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree.

I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago.

I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies.

I was made to love magic...

I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never.

I was made to love magic.

It's very cold and I have to get on to work

If You Go Away

One of my favorite songs to date:

If you go away
On this summer's day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
And the day was young
And the nights were long
And the moon stood still
For the night bird's song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
We'll sail on the sun
We'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees
And worship the wind

But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand


If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you will
You must tell the world
To stop turning
'til you return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
Without loving you?
Can I tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
'til the next hello


If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes
That I love so much

But if you go
I won't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away...

If you go away
As I know you must
There is nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
And I'd been the shadow
Of your shadow
If you might have kept me
By your side

If you go away

What a magnificent piece of heartache this has all become
When are you going to stop setting on fire what's already been put out?
She feels like someone's been plotting her demise
Moon, won't you stop shining like that when he's on her mind?
December night, why does you wind smell of the sea?
So warm, intoxicating

This must be some cosmic trick she thought to herself
Every time she feels she's winning you
She's just losing you again
Since she's been lovin' you
You've been makin' springtime in the winter
You've caught her heart and her head's lost
And do you believe her when she says she'd do it all again?
Just because you didn't believe her
Doesn't mean she didn't mean it
If you'd just hold still a minute
Stop your runnin' out the back door
She'd quit trippin' on your actions

She wants you, you're the one
Yeah, I've see it in her eyes
You're the one
