dar williams – the ballad of mary magdalene lyrics
written by richard shindell
my name is mary magdalene
i come from palestine
please excuse these rags i’m in
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
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 offend
but i will never see
how the tenderness i shared with him
became a heracy
jesus loved me, this i know
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 creed
our rituals, our sacrement
the stars our canopy
ans there beneath an olive tree
we’d offer up our plea
god’s creation, innocent
his arms surrounding me
jesus loved me, this i know
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
