Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer - Love, the Magician

She come down from oklahoma with her brown-eyed pride and joy

She come down from oklahoma with her brown-eyed pride and joy

The fair-haired desdemona and her ramblin guitar boy


Well they kept to thorn-brake thickets 'cause her daddy was a log-chain man

Yeah they kept to thorn-brake thickets 'cause her daddy was a log-chain man

On a night as long and wicked as the scar on his tattooed hand


Fly away, fly away little wildwood flower

Lift your cares to the wind coyote and whine

Your rolling tears, your restless visions

Rattle up to love, the magician


Well, he tracked 'em by the muddy waters, and he trailed 'em by the lonely lake

Yeah he tracked 'em by the muddy waters, and he trailed 'em by the lonely lake

But he only saw two young otters swimmin over by the farther bank


Fly away, fly away ...


They stole through the head-high blossoms when he set his hound dogs run

Yeah they stole through the head-high blossoms when he set his hound dogs run

And they dogs treed two white possoms at the risin of an angry sun


Fly away, fly away ...


When the old man come to find 'em there wasn't nothin for to meet the eye

When the old man come to find 'em there wasn't nothin for to meet the eye

Just a pair of lovebirds risin in the blue and boundless sky
