Love Is In The House
Mandy is two
You ought to see her eyes of cornflower blue
They really look as it they actually knew
That she's a big girl now
Mandy is two
You ought to see how many things she can do
She knows her alphabet
And ties her own shoes
And no one showed her how
If you could see her majesty
With braids in her hair
Almost as though her Sunday beau
Came around and brought her an orchid to wear
Mummy is blue
Because her little girl is going on three
But Miss Amanda she's as proud as can be
Cause she's a big
Man Of Spells
In shadowy holes, the light disappears,
Evening is with us now,
And all around begins the movement,
The many creatures of the night prepare.
Undisturbed by the sound, with noiseless tread,
A figure comes into view,
A trail of magic runs behind him,
The Man of Spells has come to visit you,
He knows how much you really want him,
He knows just what you all want him to do.
Drawn back cloak revealing,
Wraith-like form concealing,
Half-seen eyes unseeing,
Half-heard words beseeching,
Help me as I helped you,
Help me now I need you.
The enchantment is gone, the ghost disappears,
Leaving just a tired old man,
In restless dreams we might have changed him,
But a wanderer's all he'll ever be.
With shuffling feet he turns and is gone,
Back to his open home,
A trail of ashes runs behind him,
The man of magic has retired tonight,
He knows how much you really want him,
He knows just what you wanted him to do.
He knows how much you really want him,
He knows just what you wanted him to do...
