Caroline Herring - Magnolias lyrics

I met you once in a living room in Jackson Thought of you for six years or more One hour, you were my secret standard One night, you walked back through my door Your lanky frame was not what I remembered Waking from a long and fitful sleep But after early morning conversation I drove to north Texas in disbelief That quaking in my heart was too deep for words It tremored and it trembled and it ached We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias Fortunes not made and not discovered There were mentors, we were protégés From one rite of pa**age to another We roughed through the wellsprings of our early days Underneath that surface there was something Only you and I could understand I made my commitment to that long ago Standing in the hallway down in Dixieland Cause that quaking in my heart was too deep for words It tremored and it trembled and it ached We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias There's one thing I love more than Austin Or curving round the Frio on her turquoise streets It's your melancholy dread of Sunday evenings Your shivering body when it sleeps The future's looking stormy here before us Wars, calamities and tribulations We'll hatchet down the windows if we have to And stand the watch together till the morning Cause that quaking in my heart's too deep for words It tremors and it trembles and it aches We spoke our peace out on the Golden Gate Bridge And sealed it with a kiss under magnolias
