Sweet Magnolia (and the Travelling Sales — текст песни (Dan Fogelberg)

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 passion
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
Passing through town on
my travels
But someday
I`m gonna come back to stay
Magnolia, I`m coming home.
