Written by James Geer

A will and a way
A path to a song
A word to the wise
A bang on a gong

I’m just a plain
Ordinary guy
Really no druggie
Really can’t fly

Chorus:
But magic still lives
Between dusk and dawn 
Between yes and no
And off and on

I spend my time
Like anyone else
All my ambitions
Are on the shelf

The words come for free
Cause that’s all I’ll pay
Call it a hobby
I call it play

No hidden motives
No second guess
No inclinations 
To deal with a mess

Hocus and pocus
Sim Salabim 
Abracadabra 
Off on a whim

Magic
