The Widow of Magnolia Lyrics

Well, I tasted the sea in the night air
It seemed to be calling out to me
Her mistress was there, clinging to my hair
Singing passionatelyGirl, I can see you there on the shoreline
You have changed the color of each eye
And if that whale had left my belongings
I would have asked you then to be my wifeMagnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soonWhen I dreamt of your body late last night
Electricity poured from my throat
But please, baby, come down to the shoreline
Hear the last song that I ever wroteMy dear, you swore you'd make it home by morning
Now every day I sit and stare at the sea
And every wave to crash without warning
Sings how you chose the ocean floor over meMagnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soonWell, all the sailors have told me
That you ain't coming home
It's been six months
I feel so alone, oh ohWell, I've been trying so hard

I just can't get home
It's been too long
Magnolia, oh noWell, all the sailors have told me
That you ain't coming home
It's been too long
I guess I give up, yeah, I doMagnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soon
Magnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soonMagnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soon
Magnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soonMagnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soon
Magnolia, I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home real soonI just can't get home
I just can't get home
I just can't get home
