Lights Of Magdala

Kristofferson Kris


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
