Lyrics
Magic Music
words and music © Rosie Hodgson 2006
1)In the heart of New York City there's an old woman playing the blues,
In a smoky bar in the back streets of the town,
On a battered grand on bitter winter and easy summer nights,
Drowning her sorrows in whiskey and the sound of...
Chorus:
People watching people listening waiting for their turn to stand in line it's just a dime to hear what you've never heard,
2)What does her magic music say to you on the darkest nights fulfil your deepest desires,
Her sinful melodies play your heartstrings but nobody cares 'cause nothing compares.
3)People come from miles around to hear this old woman play,
Her tales of love and loss and heroes and heartache,
Opens doors and walks though walls where silent lovers lay,
Take her hold caress their souls,
But what does she make of....
People watching people listening waiting for their turn to stand in line its just a dime to hear what you've never heard.
