Magdalenda

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
