I know it's been a long time
A long time
I've been doing alright
I'm alright
I haven't gave up the fight
All the might in my hands they ignite
The fireside in my heart for the night
It burns bright for the ones with no sight
The contrite
When I start to recite
These words right
Give me strength tonight
Would you paint a picture of me?
In the future, in the future
I'd right a scripture for you
My Mary Magdalene, my Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
Mary Magdalene
I just need this one sign to calm the thoughts up in my mind
To help my battered soul unwind
To see how it all intertwines
The taste and smell of this wine
All of the things for which I pine
I want it all to be mine
Waiting patiently in time
I was wrong should've known that
Once it's gone it don't come back
Holding on to the last light
Until the dawn like a thumbtack
Staying strong for so long to find where I belong
Sing this song until the dawn when darkness is gone
Would you paint a picture of me?
In the future, in the future
I'd right a scripture for you
My Mary Magdalene, my Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
Mary Magdalene
