Magdalene

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?
