Now that the magic has gone (Joe Cocker)

Now That The Magic Has Gone

Album: Night Calls (1992)

In my life

I’ve seen sorrow

Heartache and pain

I’ve been burned by the sunshine

And drowned in pouring rain

Had too many lovers

And enough love

I’ve been trialed and convicted

For things I’m not guilty of

I was locked in a prison

Till you came and set me free

So how can you say

You’re no good for me

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say, anyway

Now that the magic has gone

There’s no sense in holding on

Baby now, now that the magic is gone

You know love can be tender

Love can be cruel

It can smile like an angel

While it treats you just like a fool

it captures and haunts you

Until you give in

And it stats the dice against you

in a game you never can win

Just when I was thinking

Maybe luck was here with me

You’re telling me it’s over

Say it’s time for breaking free

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say

Anyway baby

Now that magic has gone

There’s no sense in holding on

Baby now

Now that the magic has gone

I won’t try to hold you down

My mind tells me let go

But my heart keeps asking how

There’s no prices for the loser

Only the winner takes the purse

Some say that love is a blessing

But to me it’s just a curse

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say

Ain’t it babe

Now that the magic has gone

There’s no sense in holding on

Baby, now that the magic has gone

Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say

Night calls (Joe Cocker)

NIGHT CALLS

The night gang started walking
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I’ve got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you
I'm here making night calls

Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls

I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on, into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Sittin’ here
In the chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls
