Running along on the side of the waterfront
Someone is looking at me
Trying to turn me around like an enemy
Trying to turn me away
Holding on tight to the side of reality
Is it a vision I see?
Leading me on to the pictures that I wanna see
Fantasy lovingly restored to me
Magic moments from the past, magic moments
Mysteries from the ball
Back at the table it's getting too hot for me
Ice is afloat on my wings
Caught in the thunder and lightning of everything
Caught in the everyday things
Moving on up is the feeling inside of me
Losing my grip on the floor
Holding on tight to the hand that has given me more
Fantasy lovingly restored to me
Magic moments from the past, magic moments
Mysteries from the ball
Running along on the side of the waterfront
Someone is looking at me
Trying to turn me around like an enemy
Trying to turn me away
Moving on up is the feeling inside of me
Losing my grip on the floor
Holding on tight to the hand that is giving me more
Fantasy lovingly restored to me
Magic moments from the past, magic moments
Mysteries from the ball lovingly restored to me
Magic moments from the past lovingly restored to me
Mysteries from the ball
