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
