Well I tasted the sea in the night air

It seemed to be calling out to me

Her mistress was there, clinging to my hair

Singing passionately



Well I can see you there on the shoreline

You have changed the color of each eye

And if that whale had left my belongings

I would have asked you then to be my wife



Magnolia

I'll be coming home

I'll be coming home

Real soon



Well I dreamt of your body late last night

Electricity poured from my throat

Well please baby, come down to the shoreline

Hear the last song that I ever wrote



My dear, you swore you'd make it home by morning

Now every day I sit and stare at the sea

And every wave to crash without warning

Sings how you chose the ocean floor over me



Magnolia

I'll be coming home

I'll be coming home

Real soon



Well, all the sailors have told me

You ain't coming home

It's been six months

I feel so alone

Well, I've been trying so hard

I just can't get home

It's been too long

Magnolia, hold on



Well, all the sailors have told me

You ain't coming home

It's been too long

I guess I give up

Give up!!



Magnolia

I'll be coming home

I'll be coming home

Real soon
