Magnolias (for Philip) Lyrics by Tomo Nakayama

Fog on the Lens

2014

[Verse 1]
Take a walk in the dark
Snow will fall in Central Park
It's getting late, it’s getting late
[Verse 2]
Hard of hearing, out of sight
Oh, hard-hearted appetite
Nowhere to go, where to go
[Refrain 1]
Sometimes it's hard to know
Whom you are waiting for
When eaters and feeders look the same
[Verse 3]
Called upon your only friend
Does no one answer their phones these days?
Now what to do, what to do
[Verse 4]
Scraping off your face in the mirror
Guess you'll fall asleep right here
On the floor, on the floor
[Refrain 2]
All debts are piling up
Time is an empty cup
The past and the future look the same
[Chorus]
Someday we'll find you there
Magnolias in your hair
And all along I knew
You would be leaving soon
Someday they'll find you there
Magnolias in your hair
And all along I knew
You would be leaving soon
You would be leaving soon
[Outro]
Can’t outrun the shadows
Can’t outrun the shadows
Can’t outrun the shadows
Can’t outrun the shadows
