White Magnolias

It's hard to define you what's concealed inside you Is multitudes, I can't begin to explain or to rationalise Did I dream you? No, I am awake You fill each moment, each empty space As you float down the vast corridors of my childhood And still yet you want to explore And to meet all my demons, smile as you greet them And ask them politely, "Please don't visit here anymore" Some days they even listen to you It's enough love to pull me through And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring Babe, when I'm with you, I can do anything And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring Babe, when I'm with you, I forgive everything I don't want to define you, constrict or to tie you In the knots that I find myself constantly strangled by No need to justify who it is that you are Or who it is that you're trying to be Maybe you're just the last mystery left In a world that is hellbent on explaining itself to death Maybe our love has no form and no shape And the more I explain it, the more I feel it slipping away Some days all I think about is you It's enough love to pull me through And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring Babe, when I'm with you, I can do anything All the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring Babe, when I'm with you, I forgive everything Curtains flailing in the breeze of the night I can feel you here by my side Once I was afraid, now I no longer care A love without a shape, I find you everywhere In those white magnolias In those white magnolias In those white magnolias In those white magnolias
