Well, I left my lady sleeping
And I walked down to the sea and sand
There’s a mistress I’ve been keeping
That some women might not understand
I spent years upon the ocean
And I’ve felt the dark romance of ships
Night waves have a sultry motion
Like a hungry woman’s hips
That’s the magic of a mistress
Who knows where desire hides
I can steal off after midnight
And find pleasure at her side
Our love is full of secrets
On a bed of shadows and mist
That’s the magic of a mistress
The magic of a mistress
That only my heart will kiss
I heard songs of love and myst’ry
From Calcutta to Monrovia
Minstrels taught me music hist’ry
From Chet Atkins to Segovia
Now my spirit feels like straying
So I always bring my old guitar
High tide tangos while I’m playing
And its passion is my northern star
That’s the magic of a mistress
Who knows where desire hides
I can steal off after midnight
And find pleasure at her side
Our love is full of secrets
On a bed of shadows and mist
That’s the magic of a mistress
The magic of a mistress
That only my heart will kiss
]Sometimes my lady joins us on the shore
When the moon is like a sailor’s ghost
She’ll share me with the sea and song once more
Because she knows I love her most
That’s the magic of a mistress
Who knows where desire hides
I can steal off after midnight
And find pleasure at her side
Our love is full of secrets
On a bed of shadows and mist
That’s the magic of a mistress
The magic of a mistress
That only my heart will kiss
