Magic
By Ben Folds Five
The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner
Written by Darren Jesse & Ben Folds

From the back of your big brown eyes
I knew you'd be gone as soon as you could
And I hoped you would

We could see that you weren't yourself
And the lines on your face did tell
It's just as well
You'd never be yourself again

Saw you last night
Dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la
La la da la la la

You're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
You're the breath the blows these cool winds 'round
Trading places with an angel now

Saw you last night
Dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew

Saw you last night
Stars in the sky
Smiled in my room

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la da da
La da la la la la

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la da da
La da la la la la
