The Ballad Of Mary Magdalene
My name is Mary Magdalene I come from Palestine Please excuse these rags I’m in But I’ve fallen on hard times But long ago I had my work When I was in my prime But I gave it up And all for love It was his career or mine Jesus loved me This I know But why on earth Did I ever let him go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off with this Heart of mine A love like this Comes but once This I do believe And I’ll not see his like again As I live and breathe And I’m sorry if I might have failed But I’ll never see Letras de cancionesHow the tenderness I shared with him Became heresy Jesus loved me This I know But why on earth Did I ever let him go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off with this Heart of mine And I remember Nights we spent Whispering our creeds The rituals, the sacrament The stars our canopy And there beneath an olive tree We’d offer up our plea God’s creation, innocent His arms surrounding me Jesus loves me This I know But why on earth Did he ever have to go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off with this Heart of mine He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off with this Heart of mine From Letras Mania
