Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're sailing softly through the sun

In a broken stone age dawn

You fly so high

I get a strange magic

Oh, what a strange magic

Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic

Got a strange magic

[Verse 2]

You're walking meadows in my mind

Making waves across my time

Oh no, oh no

I get a strange magic

Oh, what a strange magic

Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic

Got a strange magic

[Verse 3]

Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again

Now I've seen the way it's got to end

Sweet dream, sweet dream

[Verse 4]

Strange magic

Oh, what a strange magic

Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic

Got a strange magic

It's magic, it's magic, it's magic

Strange magic

Oh, what a strange magic

Oh, it's a strange magic

Got a strange magic

Strange magic (La la la la la strange magic)

Oh, what a strange magic (La la la la la strange magic)

Oh, it's a strange magic (La la la la la)

Got a strange magic

Strange magic (La la la la la strange magic)

Oh, what a strange magic (La la la la la strange magic)

Oh, it's a strange magic (La la la la la)

Got a strange magic

Got a strange magic

You know I've got a strange magic

Yeah, I got a strange magic

Ooh

Strange magic
