Magdalenda Lyrics

Oh Magdalena, do you believe the things I say

Do you find that being a leaf in leaving

Is no way to stay

That in your mid-stream searching

The water's steadily lurching

And there's no branch in sway

That this fast ol' train

Just leads to fiery rains

Or slow decays

Babe I just don't see the point in questioning the very air you breathe

It's like you believe your own gravity any day now will leave you

But a view that blue ain't too far removed from what you've got going now

So quit dragging your feet like somehow that will keep both your feet on the ground

And when you're all alone and you've hidden your phone cuz you can't face anyone

And the lines on your wall seem to shiver and craw with all your past memories

And you keep on seeing your moms crow feet cheeks and shaky smile

And your brain a-howlin' with a silence so pounding that you can't hold to nothing

Kiss your hand so softly like a new born baby or a summer breeze

Make a noise that shakes you and breaks you all open

Cuz the only change between a man at sea and a castaway

Is one's fine with bein' his own friend, when needin', and shoulder to lean on
