[Wish upon a star](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb9iCz5P1LU)  
Take a step enter the land  
Walk through the air  
Take my hand  
Wishmaster`s will-  
Join him the quest for dream  
A make-believe  
Is all we ever need

Wish upon a star  
No matter who you are  
The second star to the right  
Harbinger`s gate  
Beyond the boundaries  
Blossom ballet  
In the great wide somewhere

Wish upon a star  
Believe in will  
The realm of the king of fantasy  
The master of the tale-like lore  
The way to kingdom I adore  
Where the warrior`s heart is pure  
Where the stories will come true

[When you wish upon a star,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKh6XxYbbIc)  
Makes no difference who you are,  
Anything your heart desires  
Will come to you.

If your heart is in your dream  
No request is too extreme,  
When you wish upon a star  
As dreamers do.

Sweet wonderful you,  
You make me happy with the things you do,  
Oh, can it be so,  
This feeling follows me wherever I go.

I never did believe in miracles,  
But I’ve a feeling it’s time to try.  
I never did believe in the ways of magic,  
But I’m beginning to wonder why.

You have to believe we are magic  
Nothin’ can stand in our way  
You have to believe we are magic  
Don’t let your aim ever stray  
And if all your hopes survive  
Your destiny will arrive  
I’ll bring all your dreams alive  
For you

Cold late night so long ago  
When I was not so strong you know  
A pretty man came to me  
Never seen eyes so blue  
I could not run away  
It seemed we’d seen each other in a dream  
It seemed like he knew me  
He looked right through me

“Come on home, girl” he said with a smile  
“You don’t have to love me yet  
Let’s get high awhile  
But try to understand  
Try to understand  
Try try try to understand  
I’m a magic man.”

No one knows what it’s like to be the bad man  
To be the sad man behind blue eyes  
No one knows what it’s like  
To be hated, to be fated to telling only lies

But my dreams, they aren’t as empty  
As my conscience seems to be  
I have hours, only lonely  
My love is vengeance that’s never free

Gray stands the tower in the distance.  
Days pass like warm sun on the face.  
[A new season](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZE9OLc3jsI)  
Shared is the cure to conquer loneliness

It’s strange and wilder, ageless bechilder  
Saved by fire, touched and finer  
Peaceful, blissful union is the priestess  
Doubt flows the river into darkness

Give me a moment  
Got to get this weight up off my chest  
Don’t feed me sorrow  
Pain is a poison I digest

Find yourself another soul to hold  
You think, you thought, I know  
Off upon my journey I must go  
To where the river flows

For the sea refuses no river  
Remember that when the beggar buys a round  
The sea refuses no river  
And rain fills the gutters  
No time for stutters  
This is our chance  
To sing and to dance and to clown  
The sea refuses no river  
And rivers were sprung to drown

[The river to the ocean goes,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOXOo8gOLTc)  
A fortune for the undertow  
None of this is going my way  
There is nothing left to throw  
Of ginger, lemon, indigo,  
Coriander stem and rows of hay  
Strength and courage overrides  
The privileged and weary eyes  
Of river poet search naivete  
Pick up here and chase the ride  
The river empties to the tide  
All of this is coming your way

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river  
You can hear the boats go by  
You can spend the night beside her  
And you know that she’s half crazy  
But that’s why you want to be there  
And she feeds you tea and oranges  
That come all the way from China  
And just when you mean to tell her  
That you have no love to give her  
Then she gets you on her wavelength  
And she lets the river answer  
That you’ve always been her lover

There is only one sea

Though his mind is not for rent  
Don’t put him down as arrogant  
His reserve, a quiet defense  
Riding out the day’s events  
The river

I had a bottle of burgundy wine; my love, she did not know  
And so I poisoned that dear little girl along the banks below  
Along the banks below

I drew my saber through her; it was a bloody night  
I threw her in the river, which was a dreadful sight  
My father often told me that money would set me free  
And so I murdered that dear little girl whose name was Rose Connelly
