You’re off in outer space
I’m here on earth
On any given day
The order is reversed
There’s no denying all the
Sadness that’s occurred
Lower the landing gear
Turn on the magic words
Say the magic words
That I’d love to hear
Catalog the birds
That are living near
Your house this year
Your disappearing act
My sleight of hand
The curtain’s closing
And they’re striking up the band
No use recalling
The misfortunes we’ve endured
Bring down the house lights
And bring on the magic words
Say the magic words
That I’d love to hear
Catalog the birds
That are living near
Your house this year
