Josh Ritter

Old Black Magic

True love to true love

And rust to rust

I let the others cast stones

While I drew in the dust

I tried to be a good man

Something changes in the wind

I got that old black magic rolling in

Wave upon wave now

Here come the dreams

And I can't see the lighthouse

And the lighthouse can't scream

Don't you know I need you so bad

Tell me where the hell you been

I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling rolling rolling rolling in

I can't sleep for crying

I'm crying all the time

Everybody's got an angel

I got mine

Wings of a crow

Overshadowin'

I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling rolling rolling rolling in

I know the way it goes down

It's all in my head

I feel it rising

From its unmarked bed

Sure not the devil

Sure not his friend

But I know for sure

What's rolling in

You never asked for fire

You already were a thief

So I knew you'd be with me

When I need you to be

Steal my soul honey

Keep it for me when

I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling rolling rolling rolling in

There was a time I knew ya

You knew me

There was nothing in between us

Far as we could see

Don't you know I need my true love

My truest friend

I got that old black magic rolling in

Rolling rolling rolling rolling in

Rolling rolling rolling rolling in
