I see you
you see me
but the ways
that we see
aren't the same
what I want you to be
is not the way
you see me

it's a shame
and I do complain
oh, magdalene

you've kept me under your spell
I've been searching for the arrows that fell
but you can't even seem to tell
oh, magdalene

when you pray
by your bed at night
do you say
everything in your mind?
when you lay
in your bed at night
do you say his name
and smile?

it's a shame
that I will have to take
'cause, magdalene
you've kept me under your spell
I've been feeling like a fool with a bell
but you can't even seem to tell
oh, magdalene

magdalene...

it's a strain
that I would like to forsake
but magdalene
you've kept me under your spell
i've been searching for the arrows that fell
maybe that is just as well
'cause you can't even seem to tell

magdalane...
