Surprises
Текст песни Magnolia Tree

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."
