Magic

Nights were long, days were dark

minutes seemed more like hours

yet in my dreams there was a place

with magic healing powers

The travel would not be easy

the mountains they'll be steep

I imagine there'll be a price to pay

which I know will not be cheap

But here I am, I've made the trek

it's time to pay the price

but now that I know how much it costs

I will not make it twice

This place has brought me heartache

it's delivered so much grief

I wish I'd known when I first came

it was owned by the spirit thief

He was there to steal my happiness

I had soon become his toy

but like all new toys, he tired of me

and he robbed me of my joy

Now life plods on

who cares how I feel

those damn dreams of magic

they're never real
