Magic Piano lyrics - Crowded House

I began to sense my own weight

Walking up the gravity stairs

Bells ringing in the temple above

The piano was playing itself

Words matter but they get in the way

When you got some stories to tell

Let the melody reign, oh yeah

Here am I, so bright

Here am I, so light

(Breathe)

Breathe in the magic piano air

Leave with a contact high

I was playing for them

Love is a gift I was given once

Now I must keep it alive

I was thinking of her

These are the dark forces now

Making shadows dance on the stairway

Who's that joker with the crooked smile?

In the car that speeds away

From the scene of the crime

Here am I, so bright

Here am I, so light

(Breathe)

Breathe in the magic piano air

Leave with a contact high

I was playing for that

Love is a gift I was given once

Now I must pay them in kind

I was dreaming of her

If I end up forgetting what I had to say

You will still hear me humming on the last day

Always rising to the surface now

On a zephyr, the echo ever so faint

Let the melody reign again

I was thinking of him

Contact high

I was dreaming of him

I believe in the magic piano, yeah

I was thinking of him

Contact high

I was dreaming of him

I believe in the magic piano, yeah

I was dreaming of him

Now I must keep it alive

Love, lets take a chance

You told me the last days are coming
