Sweet Magnolia (and the Travelling Sales

<br>Two hearts<br>Throwing off sparks<br>Young and in love with<br>our freedom<br>Moonlight,<br>Those soft, southern nights<br>We were both ripe to fall.<br><br>I was<br>Out on my own<br>Playing for all who<br>would listen<br>You were<br>As free as a bird<br>Flying from nest to nest.<br><br>But somewhere our eyes met<br>And our hands reached out<br>And we felt a kindred spirit<br>And as our faces touched<br>I could feel the fire<br>And needed so to just<br>be near it.<br><br>Oh, Lord<br>Those moments we soared<br>Borne on the wings of<br>our passion<br>It seemed then<br>Like they`d never end<br>But times like that<br>always must.<br><br>`Cause then one day I flew<br>Far away from you<br>I never knew how I`d regret it<br>My sweet Magnolia belle<br>You know I`ve loved you well<br>Even if I never said it.<br><br>Magnolia, now I see<br>That freedom isn`t free<br>And love`s the only true<br>redeemer<br>And when this journey`s<br>through<br>I`ll be coming back for you<br>If you`ll have this<br>foolish dreamer.<br><br>I spend<br>A night now and then<br>Passing through town on<br>my travels<br>But someday<br>I`m gonna come back to stay<br>Magnolia, I`m coming home.
