Sing a song for the daughters of Magdalene

All tied up in their white ribbon

Novemeber 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

With time how your heart withdrew

You'd said i'd never understand the pain

Or share the shame but 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, my god how could you take it from me

So I told when 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 beneath 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, my god how could you take it 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, my god how could you take it from me
