Tim Ray - Magnolia Lyrics

Ohh my world is full of black and white
And facts I can't deny
Young fire, frenetic vibe
Rattling a drum, you shake us til we're numb
And your voice, like a symphony
I'm frozen in my seat, sitting in the furthest row
Pale gull, fly home
It's the changing of the seasons, and the life we love is fleeting

And I ain't got time to tell no lie to you
So won't you perk your ears

The truth is I want you to stay
Stay green
As the Indian runners hide with you
And scream
As the moonlit waters ripple waves
And sing
Will you promise me you'll never change your leaves

You're rooted deep behind that brick and picket fence
In the house we use to live
There's splinters in His spine, they're words you won't forget
And mine you can't forgive
You're armored by the law, you fragile work of art
Foundation in the salt
For yards you'll spread your arms, our eyes will stare in awe
Though we never cared at all or looked before

I don't know if you've ever seen
That girl, making a fool of me
My world won't ever be the same
Always chasing a tree to climb
I never wanted to say she's mine
Magnolia, come on and change my mind
I don't know if you've ever seen
That girl, beautiful as can be
My world can't ever be the same
Always chasing a tree to climb
I never wanted to say she's mine
Magnolia, come on and change my mind

I don't know if you've ever seen
That girl, making a fool of me
My world won't ever be the same
Always chasing a tree to climb
I never wanted to say she's mine
Magnolia, come on and change my mind
The truth is I want you to stay
Stay green
As the Indian runners hide with you
And scream
As the moonlit waters ripple waves
And sing
Will you promise me you'll never change your leaves
