Magic Woman

chorus-
oh she's a magic woman
called the sun
yeah she came runnin'
to shine on my good side
and take the clouds away
verse-
oh she's a magic woman
broke the clouds
and brought back the sun again
to shine on my good side
and take my blues away
i learned how to love again
i took to wing
and i flew to the sun again
just open my arms
and watched me float away
chorus-
oh she's a magic woman
called the sun
yeah she came runnin'
to shine on my good side
and take the clouds away
oh she's a magic woman
and i know that
i won't have to run again
she shined on my good side
and glaciers just melted away
i learned how to love again
and i flew on the wings of a dove again
just open my heart
and watched me float away
chorus-
oh she's a magic woman
called the sun
yeah she came runnin'
to shine on my good side
and take the clouds away
shine shine shine shine
down on me
oh my soul
i never felt so free
sometimes when you shine
you take my blues away
i was lost out in the woods
i never thought that i ever could
your soul made me happy
and you took my blues away
chorus-
oh she's a magic woman
called the sun
yeah she came runnin'
to shine on my good side
and take the clouds away

i was makin' plans
when the real life hit me
i woke up and found a message waitin' for me
on the table by the clock and the humidifier
i smoke too much these days
i need to get a little higher
i read some books and
i've been tryin' to find myself within
you know we get like that
when good times start to runnin' thin
first thing you wanna do is try to change your life
find that higher power get back to the real light

we vibrate we resonate
with a higher power
i was feelin' good
but didn't recognize the feelin'
it's been so long
i even thought that i was somewhere dreamin'
on a river by a tree and sitting in the shade
it don't take much to satisfy my restless heart these days
i read some books and
i've been tryin' to find myself within
you know it gets like that sometimes
when we just need a friend
someone to let you know it's still alright to cry
find that higher power get back to the real light
3 x
we vibrate we resonate
with a higher power

and i don't think i can make it home
i gave my keys to rosita

between love and mistakes
and i make lots of both all the time
i think i know my limit
i just got caught up in it

not acting like a fool
sorry but it happens sometimes
i think i know my limit
i just got caught up in it
lickin' salt and squeezin' the lime
sometimes i'm dealing
and i'm feelin' pretty good
it's so nice to see a real live friend
i think i know my limit
i just got caught up in it
drinkin' with the champion
she knock me out again, oh!
too much tequila
and i don't think i can make it home
i gave my keys to rosita
and she said she would make sure
