Magic Lyrics - The Unauthorized Biography Of Reinhold Messner - Ben Folds Five

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 

You're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground 

You're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round 

Trading places with an angel now
