Oh, the lights of Magdala flicker

Dimly on the shore

Holy sailor sailing on the sea

Patiently waiting she walked quietly

To the door

Another lonely night in Galilee



Chorus:

Magdalene, don't wrap your dreams in sorrow

Save them for tomorrow if it comes

When we'll meet within the circle

Round the sun

Oh, if heaven were a lady don't you

Know you'd been the one



Through the streets of Jerusalem

You followed him once more

Holy sailor's come home from the sea

Someone somewhere's calling him

To a golden distant shore

Far from the lonely nights in Galilee



Chorus:

Magdalene, don't wrap your dreams in sorrow

Save them for tomorrow if it comes

When we'll meet within the circle

Round the sun

Oh, if heaven were a lady don't you

Know you'd been the one
