"Magical Thinking" lyrics
"Magical Thinking"
Living in daydreams, yeah it's not a way to live
You say the rock bed is dry, I say the drought has got to give
And I can see the run-down station
Where the trees grow in the tracks
Show me how the roof has caved in
Tell me there's no going back
But I've been saying that the creek will run
I've been waiting for the train to come
Going back to all my magical thinking that
Finds a break in the stone
Driving at midnight, it's when the dreaming starts again
It all comes true if the light turns before I count to ten
And if I do a few things better now
Better than I've done before
The only thing I ever wanted
Will be there, will be standing at my door
And the creek will run
And I'll be waiting for the train to come
Going back to al my magical thinking that
Finds a break in the stone
And in the light of this reverie
I can see it all some day
It's as clear as any memory
And it's just as far away
Oh have you heard the news, how they're bringing back the train?
They cleared the trees and the old rails were shining in the rain
Yeah it rained for days and nights on end
It's like we emptied out the sky
And the creek was running so full, everywhere
You could hear it rushing by, rushing by
Don't worry, even I know
You don't have to say it's time to go
I know all about my magical thinking
I'm moving on from this impossible dreaming
But I'm gonna stay a little longer; I'm watching as
The water runs through the stone

Joan Osborne - "Man In The Long Black Coat" Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry

Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze
Not a word, a goodbye, not even...

A fiery haired
Brown-eyed schemer
Who came from a long line
Of drinkers and dreamers
Who knew that sunshine
Don't hold up to dark
Whose businesses fail
Who'll sleep in the park...

Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
