MAGNOLIA

歌詞

walk Decatur in the evening light And taste the spit of Mississippi rain Squint down on Bienville in the flashing moonlight And you can almost hear the clink of chains Some boys are shouting out the Avenida Magnolia they can even spell your name right I'm gonna meet you at Napoleon House I'm gonna take my absinthe straight tonight Magnolia I just want to see you flower I long to smell your scent again Sweet southern flower I long to make you slide for me Why is your love so hard to bear? Why'd you act as if you didn't care? Why is your hurt so slow to heal? Y'all shot me dead before the second reel I'm back on Bienville on the stroke of midnight The second line becomes the masquerade You could be back in post war Fort de France And you can almost hear the call to prayer Some boys are shouting out the Avenida 6,7,9's the number I must call you I've got the Hi-John Conq, the dragon's blood I'm fixing to put a little voodoo on you Magnolia I just want to see you flower I want to smell your scent again Sweet southern flower I want to see you shine for me 6,7,9 you know the Quarter's are hot I cut my fingers dialling Sweet southern flower I'm gonna make you slide Let's take that ride Why is your love so hard to bear? Why'd you act as if you didn't care? Why is your hurt so slow to heal? You got me down again I can't believe it's real Why's your love so slow to mend
