Lights Of Magdala
[Verse 1]
Oh, the lights of Magdala flicker dimly on the shore
Holy sailor sailing on the sea
Patiently waiting, she walks 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 a circle around the sun
If heaven were a lady, don't you know you'd have been the one?

[Verse 2]
To the streets of Jerusalem, you followed him once more
Your holy sailor's come home from the sea
But somewhere, someone's calling you to a distant golden 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 a circle around the sun
If heaven were a lady, I know you'd have been the one
