Magical
Gail Ann Dorsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darkness
A storyteller with wings I envy
Baby, I've been waiting for you, waiting for you all my
Life
What did I know before you came?
One in million flowers on my pillow
Baby, you're my shining armour; beauty and dressed to
Kill
Nothing I know can be the same
I wanna dance; pick me up and turn me 'round
One foot out, one foot down, all my senses hit the
Ground
I close my eyes, I feel so free, and it comes so easily
It Can Be Magical... It Can Be Magical
My little hero, never short of wonder
Wherever we go racing it's to win
Straight into the arms of parlours, straight into the
Halls of fame
Into this handsome honeymoon
I wanna dance; pick me up and turn me 'round
One foot out, one foot down, all my senses hit the
Ground
I close my eyes, I feel so free, and it comes so easily
It Can Be Magical... It Can Be Magical
I want to fly for real
I want to get high for real this time
Cause magic we're made of, a mystic parade of
Desires... Desires...
I was a picture of a prima donna that was stranded on
The edge of town
Only a face without a name...
Now, I wanna dance; pick me up and turn me 'round
One foot out, one foot down, all my senses hit the
Ground
I close my eyes, I feel so free, and it comes so easily
It Can Be Magical... It Can Be Magical

Love all the Bowie song titles throughout; the fact they don't stick out like a sore thumb is a sign of her writing talent.

Incredibly beautiful !!! I admire Gail Ann Dorsey A LOT, and her song gives me so much hope for the future, while currently living an awful present time ...
I hope that one day I'll realise my dreams too and play bass and guitar with other musicians in front of a real audience ...
Loneliness, isolation and fear are killing me.
