Magdalene Songtext

Magdalene Songtext
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
Every day I would wait by the gates for you
But with time, how your heart withdrew
You′d said I'd never understand the pain
Or share the shame, but you know that I wanted to
But you gave 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?
So, I told and the Sisters of Mercy came
By your school just yesterday
I never meant for it to cause you any pain
I want to make it better, make it go away
So sing a song for the Daughters of Magdalene
All smothered 'neath their white linen
If Mary knew how she was being used
So misconstrued, how you were being used
But you gave 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 gave 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?
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
Every day I would wait by the gates for you
But with time, how your heart withdrew
You′d said I'd never understand the pain
Or share the shame, but you know that I wanted to
But you gave 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?
So, I told and the Sisters of Mercy came
By your school just yesterday
I never meant for it to cause you any pain
I want to make it better, make it go away
So sing a song for the Daughters of Magdalene
All smothered 'neath their white linen
If Mary knew how she was being used
So misconstrued, how you were being used
But you gave 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 gave 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?
