Surprises - Magnolia Tree lyrics

Gold From another man's heel If God doesn't want me, Then nobody will There's a path to your freedom In your mama's clothes drawer And it might just get you in. Poor As a beggar man's child A life on the street has Been nothing but shame. I'm gonna crawl to that castle, Gonna knock on the door, And they might just let me in. I said, "Magnolia tree, Would you focus on me We'll have a great big house in heaven." Fruit from a lavender tree I seek the comfort of sweetness But it's right in my tea When the birds and the scarecrows Are getting along, You'd think they might just let me in I said, "Magnolia tree, Would you focus on me We'll have a great big house in heaven." I said, "Magnolia tree, Put your branches on me And we could leave this world together." The further you get from the sweet of summer, The closer you get to home. The further you get from the sweet of summer, I said, why do you want to be somewhere you're not When you're never gonna find a place To untie your knot I said, "Magnolia tree, Would you focus on me We'll have a great big house in heaven." I said, "Magnolia tree, Would you focus on me We'll have a great big house in heaven." I said, "Magnolia tree, Put your branches on me. And we could leave this world together. We could leave this world together."
