january demo: magnolia trees 4
I wrote this song a few months ago when I was desperately missing a certain long-distance special friend of mine. Sometimes distance can feel so defeating in a relationship. I tried to capture that feeling but still remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and love can conquer a multitude of dissuasions.
Magnolia Trees
May hope fill my lover’s heart, that we again will meet
Under blooms of magnolia trees.
May joy fill his longing heart, alone under sheets so grim
That one day and soon my love
We will meet again.
Though it’s dark in this house, a new day brings new light
And the chance that the form of my love
is in sight.

The recording of the song is from a live show I played with my brother, Zac Fairbanks at a wonderful venue in Boston called Club Passim. I guess Bob Dylan used to play there, and many other great performers.
Love it! Such a haunting song. Excellent. Lovely lyrics. You and your brother sound amazing!
WONDERFUL!
thanks guys!
This is a beautiful one. I like it a lot.
