歌词
[Verse 1]
Candles and bent knees
Fingers wound around a rosary
Bleeding heart, pleading hard
On every bead
[Verse 2]
One for Christmas lights and stockings on the wall
Tiny boots near mine out in the hall
I hear birthday songs and lullabies
I tell a different story every night
[Verse 3]
Prayers on my lips
How quickly moments slip
Decades pass between my fingertips
Some other mother's memories
[Verse 4]
I saw tiny fingers pressed against the glass
And I heard the crunch of gravel under tires
Mouthed a name he won't remember through the window
Couldn't speak to say goodbye
[Verse 5]
Awake each night in bed
These questions fill my head
Why is innocence and beauty such a sin?
How will he know I wanted him?
[Chorus]
Magdalene
Magdalene
[Verse 6]
They think I'm broken and repentant
Ashamed, unworthy, and unclean
They don't hear my quiet rebellion
Under humming of the hymns from their machines
[Verse 7]
Spinning round each day
To wash my sins away
In my bones, I know there's nothing to forgive
Women like us
We never win
[Outro]
Magdalene
Magdalene
Magdalene
Please watch over him
Magdalene
Please watch over him
Magdalene
Please watch over him
