lyrics
VERSE 1
Magical, magical game we play. Give me sight so my vision is clear.
Whirling and spiraling as I sway, opening up, enter here.
VERSE 2
Like a fantasy’s ever elusive touch, you’re a whisper I harken to hear.
And a riddle that only will say so much, ‘til I’ve donned what is left of my fear
CHORUS
And you are there when I’m closing my eyes. There, when I’m living my lies.
And you are the place I must go, for you are the one that I know.
VERSE 3
Already given to only you, how can my heart understand?
While seeking the freedom of only truth, I am held by illusions of man.
CHORUS
And you are there when I’m closing my eyes. There, when I’m living my lies.
And you are the place I must go, for you are the one that I know.
VERSE 4
Magical, magical game we play. Give me sight so my vision is clear.
Whirling and spiraling as I sway, opening up, enter here.
