Dan Fogelberg - Sweet Magnolia (And The Traveling 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 pa**ion 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 Pa**ing through town on My travels But someday I'm gonna come back to stay Magnolia, I'm coming home.
