Magdalene

[Verse 1]

Sing a song for the daughters of Magdalene

All tied up in their white ribbon

November came and before I got your letter

I will love you better, I will love you true

[Verse 2]

Everyday I would wait by the gates for you

With time, how your heart withdrew

You said I never understand the pain or share the shame

But you know that I want to

[Chorus]

But you give me hope and now you take it away

You took my love and now you celebrate

When the morning comes, no, I don't believe

That my God, oh my God, how could you take her from me?

[Verse 3]

So I told, and the sisters of mercy came

By your school just yesterday

I never meant for to cause you any pain

I wanna make it better, make it go away

[Verse 4]

So sing a song for the daughters of Magdalene

All smothered 'neath the white linen

If Mary knew how she was being used

So misconstrued, how you were being used

[Chorus]

But you give me hope and now you take it away

You took my love and now you celebrate

When the morning comes, no, I don't believe

That my God, oh my God, how could you take her from me?

You give me hope and now you take it away

You took my love and now you celebrate

When the morning comes, no I don't believe

That my God, oh my God, how could you take her from me?
