Magnolia - Apollo Sunshine

Magnolia, magnolia

Your white flowers glow.

Those cones filled with red seeds

They come and they go.

Oh, moss tree, oh, moss tree

Filled my wagon so.

Made wigs and beards

Like someday I’d grow…

and Ohhhh.

Oh, rosebush, oh, rosebush

My grandaddy’s work.

Been dug up… thrown out.

Just weeds on the dirt.

BACK HERE AFTER YEARS.

Once brought home a WOMAN.

Now she’s sent me back.

Just here for a visit.

Won’t even unpack.

Til Dad says, oh, Dad says

«let's throw 'round the ball.»

I’d love just to chat, Dad,

This glove is too small… and ohh.

So each time, oh, each time

That I come back home,

Feels more like my folks' house

And I’m more alone.

BACK HERE AFTER YEARS
