Magnolia - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

From a table across the room

She was signaling me with her eyes

I walked over to be introduced

I said, «Hello», she just smiled

And said, «I know a place

Not too far from here

We could get away for a while»

Yeah, that’s when she kissed me And told me her name

I never did tell her mine

Magnolia

I remember the smell

Of the wind through the suite

Magnolia

And I know that she’s out there

Somewhere in the world

She’s forgotten me but I remember her

Magnolia

Well her lips were as warm

As that wet southern night

Her eyes were as black as the sky

And I wondered aloud

Just what I’d done right

As I lay there, with her by my side

Then she took hold of my hand

As she looked up at me

And said, «Now I must tell you goodbye»

And there in the moonlight

As I watched her leave

I felt a chill down inside
