Sometimes the water falls
Between two trees
And then the light will bend into an opening
I’ve never felt so close to you
Magnolia, my obstacle
The smokey mountains wail
Until they can’t
and everyone around’s tryin to sing with them
The other day you came to me
Magnolia, my sanity
The only saving grace
Comes quietly
Dancing in its place waiting to be received
And you’ve been here the whole time
Magnolia, my melody
