Dan Fogelberg - Sweet Magnolia lyrics

Two hearts, throwing off sparks Young and in love with our freedom Moonlight, those soft Southern nights We were both ripe to fall Well, I was out on my own Playing for all who would listen And 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 theyd never end But times like that always must Cause then one day I flew far away from you I never knew how Id regret My sweet Magnolia belle, you know Ive loved you well Even if I never said it Magnolia, now I see That freedom isnt free And loves the only true redeemer And when this journeys through Ill be coming back for you If youll have this foolish dreamer I spend a night now and then Pa**ing through town on my travels But someday Im gonna come back to stay Magnolia, Im coming home
