Magdalene - Bear's Den

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?
