A Little Magic (& No Wonder)...

I'll sit here and listen
I'll sit here and think
Write it so all can see
Water it down, & drink

It's the same all over
Searching for a little magic
and no wonder

I'll kill a book sized tree
because I need to think
They'll bring it down for me
and I'll have plenty of ink

As my mind is in want of dream
  won't someone sing a lullaby
When I'm down to fumes and steam
  won't the night say goodbye

It's the same all over
Searching for a little magic
and no wonder

In a crowd so small and quiet
the music comes through kindly
The barmaid will bring me a diet
and I'll accept it almost blindly

Sips of anything with drips of sound
With a tiny hint of nothing all around
This beautiful world so blind, so lost
My wandering mind, and all it's cost

It's the same all over
Searching for a little magic
and no wonder

With what little magic there is
and how powerful it can be
With it being so easy to miss
in such obfuscating misery

No wonder it's all the same
No wonder there's such little magic
No wonder everyone searches for it
No wonder there's no wonder

It's the same all over
Again and again
Everywhere
  A little magic
    and no wonder
