Lyrics Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson

Lights of Magdala

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

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

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
