David Sylvian - The Scent Of Magnolia Lyrics
In the coldest hour something's going downWhatever pierced the heart it didn't make a soundI am terrified but I'm not losing sleepIf I'm falling then I'm falling at her feetI'm leaving America, I'm taking a girlI'm selling my soul again, I'm gaining the worldEvery sense defies this impossible dreamNone of the history books describe what I've seenThe rose, the breath, the undying sparkThe lotus heart's open, embracing the darkThe uncharted road is the not-coming-backThe language I speak is the words that I lackThe oncoming cars, the wedding of starsWell I know your name or recognise your faceOr by what means I'll be delivered from this placeHere comes the gun, there goes the flashOnce the bullet leaves it's never coming backThe scent of magnolia, the face of a girlAnd every detail embodies the worldWhat kind of goals define this impossible dreamNone of the picture-books reflect all I've seenI'm leaving America, I'm taking the girlsI'm far from the future and ambush the worldThe scent of magnolia, the face of a girlAnd every detail embodies the worldWhat kind of goals define this impossible dreamNone of the history books describe where I've beenI'm leaving America, I'm taking a girlI'm far from the future and ambush the world
