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 Every day I would wait by the gates for you But with time, your heart withdrew You said I'd never understand the pain, or share the shame But you know that I want to But you gave me hope And now you take it away You took my love and now you celebrate When the morning comes Now I don't believe That my god, oh my god, how could you take her from me? So, I told them 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 smiling in their white ribbon If only 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 Now I don't believe That my God, oh my God, how could you take her from me?
