Magdalene, are you thinking of the gentle man who turned your life around
Magdalene. did he leave you any reason to go on
Magdalene, does it make it any better that you know he really loved you
Magdalene, all your sins have been forgiven and he's gone.

Magdalene, did he give you back the freedom to be something you believe in
Magdalene, are you strong enough to make it on your own
Magdalene, I believe he loved you deeper than you ever dreamed of loving
Magdalene, and nobody ever left you so alone.

Oh, Magdalene, are you thinking of the gentle man who turned your life around
Magdalene. did he leave you any reason to go on
Magdalene, does it make it any better that you know he really loved you
Magdalene, all your sins have been forgiven and he's gone.

Magdalene, are the shadows in the stillness of the evening full of tears
Do you wonder how much sorrow you can hold
Are you haunted by the ghost of something gone but not forgotten
Will it fill the empty silence when you're old.

Magdalene, are you thinking of the gentle man who turned your life around
Magdalene. did he leave you any reason to go on
Magdalene, I believe he loved you deeper than you ever dreamed of loving
Magdalene, all your sins have been forgiven, and he's gone...
