Rush - Presto Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonIf I could wave my magic wand...I am made from the dust of the starsAnd the oceans flow in my veinsHere I hide in the heart of the cityLike a stranger coming out of the rainThe evening plane rises up from the runwayOver constellations of lightI look down into a million housesAnd wonder what youre doing tonightIf I could wave my magic wandId make everything all rightIm not one to believe in magicBut I sometimes have a second-sightIm not one with a sense of proportionWhen my heart still changes overnightI had a dream of a winter gardenA midnight rendezvousSilver, blue, and frozen silenceWhat a fool I was for youI had a dream of the open waterI was swimming away out to seaSo deep I could never touch bottomWhat a fool I used to beIf I could wave my magic wandId set everybody freeIm not one to believe in magicThough my memory has a second-sightIm not one to go pointing my fingerWhen I radiate more heat than lightDont ask meIm just improvisingMy illusion of careless flightCant you seeMy temperatures risingI radiate more heat than lightDont ask meIm just sympathizingMy illusions a harmless flightCant you seeMy temperatures risingI radiate more heat than light
