"Magic" lyrics

July saw the birth on a Monday
She went on to change her own name
Only to change it again
And oh as a child she held magic
She was a work of art
How she filled every hole in my heart

Memories made, memories fade
And I thought we filled all of your heart
Memories saved, forever in grave
And I thought we filled all of your heart

And, oh, did you know that in winter
She would lie in her bed in the dark
And could conjure a chocolate tongue?
And, oh, did you know that in summer
She would kick over rocks and find gems?
And now all of her fingers wear rings

Memories made, memories fade
And I thought we filled all of your heart
Memories saved, forever in grave
And I thought we filled all of your heart

And, oh, how your father raged
The war, study sealed again
How he wrote just to fill up the page
And I thought we filled all of your heart
When your mother found God again
How we laughed in the church and sang
All the words wrong, 'cause
I thought we filled all of your heart

A crib on the king's cross veranda
She was safely wired in like a bird
How I hung upon every word
She said at night how a witch kept a vigil
And would curse and wave flags cross the lane
And she'd shiver in silence and pray

Memories made, memories fade
And I thought we filled all of your heart
Memories saved, forever in grave
And I thought we filled all of your heart

And, oh, how your father raged
The war, study sealed again
How he wrote just to fill up the page
And I thought we filled all of your heart
When your mother found God again
How we laughed in the church and sang
All the words wrong, 'cause
I thought we filled all of your heart
And when I was a child I knew
Nothing about how you
Were always so scared, 'cause
I thought we filled a I of your heart

And, oh, did you know she held magic?
She woke up to find herself there
Hovering in the air
She'd swear
