lyrics

It dawned on my late one afternoon when I was small. When you held the microphone, you were the center of my whole life. Now I am distressed. But don't worry about me. Worry about us. 'Cause we were the magic ones, once. When you were the savior for me all alone. Sent from the future with no way home. It came to me as I went to bed for the first time alone. 'Cause here's where our shelter was, and here's where the kids grew up. Now it's all gone and I am distressed. But don't worry about it. Worry about us. Those were your magic words once. Don't worry about me. Worry about us. 'Cause we were the magic ones once.
