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
Everyday, I would wait by the gates for you But with time how your heart withdrew You 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?
And so I told and the sisters of mercy came By your school just yesterday I never meant for 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 the 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?
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?
