Lyrics:

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, no 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 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?
