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
