Magnolia
walk Decatur in the evening lightAnd taste the spit of Mississippi rainSquint down on Bienville in the flashing moonlightAnd you can almost hear the clink of chainsSome boys are shouting out the AvenidaMagnolia they can even spell your name rightI'm gonna meet you at Napoleon HouseI'm gonna take my absinthe straight tonightMagnolia I just want to see you flowerI long to smell your scent againSweet southern flower I long to make you slide for meWhy 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 reelI'm back on Bienville on the stroke of midnightThe second line becomes the masqueradeYou could be back in post war Fort de FranceAnd you can almost hear the call to prayerSome boys are shouting out the Avenida6,7,9's the number I must call youI've got the Hi-John Conq, the dragon's bloodI'm fixing to put a little voodoo on youLetras de cancionesMagnolia I just want to see you flowerI want to smell your scent againSweet southern flower I want to see you shine for me6,7,9 you know the Quarter's are hotI cut my fingers diallingSweet southern flower I'm gonna make you slideLet's take that rideWhy 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 realWhy's your love so slow to mend From Letras Mania
