Sweet Magnolia And The Travelling Salesman

Lyrics

Two hearts
 Throwing off sparks
 Young and in love with
 our freedom
 Moonlight,
 Those soft, southern nights
 We were both ripe to fall.
 ♪
 I was
 Out on my own
 Playing for all who
 would listen
 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 passion
 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 it
 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
 Passing through town on
 my travels
 But someday
 I'm gonna come back to stay
 Magnolia, I'm coming home.
