There you go into the night
Catch my breath and I'm feeling alright
No use saying what's inside
If I did you'd still say goodbye
Pick me up and lay me aside
Cut me down and watch me die
Why do you just come and go
Oh well, I can't stop my hands from shaking
I was once so much to you
Tell me what I should do
You have got this hold on me
Will I ever now be free?
CHORUS :
Magic man, why do you arrive
Out of nowhere in the night
Magic man, appearing like a dream
Then suddenly out of sight
Just as fast you're gone by day
You're fading away
Just as fast you're gone by day
You're fading away (fading away)
Crazy days, runnin' around,
First I'm up and then I'm down
Waiting for your step on the stair
Then I know that ev'rything's alright
I was once so much to you
Tell me what I shouldn't do
You have got this hold on me
Will I ever now be free
CHORUS
Magic man...
TO FADE
