Sing a song for the Daughters of Magdalene

All tied up in their white ribbon

November came and before I got your letterI 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?
