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 passionately
I can see you there on the shoreline You changed the color of each eye And if that whale had left my belongings I would have asked you then to be my wife
Magnolia I'll be coming home I'll be coming home Real soon
I dreamt of your body late last night Electricity poured from my throat Please baby, come down to the shoreline Hear the last song that I ever wrote
My 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 signs How you chose the ocean floor over me
Magnolia I'll be coming home I'll be coming home Real soon
Well, all the sailors have told me You ain't coming home It's been six months I feel so alone Well, I've been trying so hard I just can't get home It's been too long I guess I give up
Magnolia I'll be coming home I'll be coming home Real soon
