richard shindell - the ballad of mary magdalen lyrics
my name is mary magdalen
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 will come but once
this i do believe
and i ll not see his like again
as i live and breath
and i m sorry if i might offend
but i will never see
how the tenderness i shared with him
became a 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
but i remember nights we spent
whispering our creed
our rituals, our sacraments
the stars our canopy
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
