Magnolia

Magnolia, magnolia\nYour white flowers glow.\nThose cones filled with red seeds\nThey come and they go.\nOh, moss tree, oh, moss tree\nFilled my wagon so.\nMade wigs and beards\nLike someday I’d grow…\nand Ohhhh.\nOh, rosebush, oh, rosebush\nMy grandaddy’s work.\nBeen dug up… thrown out.\nJust weeds on the dirt.\nBACK HERE AFTER YEARS.\nOnce brought home a WOMAN.\nNow she’s sent me back.\nJust here for a visit.\nWon’t even unpack.\nTil Dad says, oh, Dad says\n«let's throw 'round the ball.»\nI’d love just to chat, Dad,\nThis glove is too small… and ohh.\nSo each time, oh, each time\nThat I come back home,\nFeels more like my folks' house\nAnd I’m more alone.\nBACK HERE AFTER YEARS
