unless you're stubborn like me
hold on magnolia
i hear that station bell ring
you might be holdin' the last light i see
before the dark finally gets a hold of me
and it's about to get hold of me, but not yet. i'm holdin' out against sleep, cause i've forgotten the power of dream. i don't look forward to them right now, though that will change, given time. i hold on in the dark, against the light of sleep. i want to stay away for fear of missing something, and yet to let go is such sweet relief.
hold on magnolia to the thunder and the rain
to the lightnin', that has just signed my name
hold on magnolia to that great highway
no one has to be that strong, but if you're stubborn like me
i know what you're tryin' to be.
and so it is, and so it goes. hold on magnolia, i hear that lonesome whistle whine. it's calling for me, it's saying matt, it's almost time, stand, face the north, face the west, face the south, face the east, face it all, let it all go. such is life, so it is.
goodnight.
