Sweet Magnolia (And The Travelling Salesman)

Two hearts, throwing off sparks Young and in love with our freedom Moonlight, those soft Southern nights We were both ripe to fall Well, I was out on my own Playing for all who would listen And you were as free as a bird Flying from nest to nest But somewhere our eyes met And our hands reached out And we felt a kindred spirit And as our faces touched I could feel the fire And needed so to just be near it Oh, Lord, those moments we soared Borne on the wings of our pa*sion It seemed then like they'd never end But times like that always must 'Cause then one day I flew far away from you I never knew how I'd regret My sweet Magnolia belle, you know I've loved you well Even if I never said it Magnolia, now I see That freedom isn't free And love's the only true redeemer And when this journey's through I'll be coming back for you If you'll have this foolish dreamer I spend a night now and then Pa*sing through town on my travels But someday I'm gonna come back to stay Magnolia, I'm coming home
