The Magician
from The Flood
Without warning my house became a magic show
The moon was the spotlight
I sat in the first row
There wasn’t time for tears
One minute she was here
Then I watched my darling, the magician
Disappear
I ran through the hallways looking for a backstage door
There was no applause
No hope for an encore
And everything is so unclear
One minute she was here
Then I watched my darling, the magician
Disappear
I opened the closet where all of her clothes had been
It was empty the hangers were still swinging
And she wasn’t behind the mirror
One minute she was here
Then I watched my darling, the magician
Disappear
The last thing I heard was Abracadabra
Last thing I heard was Abracadabra
It kept ringing in my ears
One minute she was here
Then I watched my darling, the magician
Disappear
Yeah I watched my darling, the magician
Disappear
