The Ballad Of Mary Magdalen Lyrics - Richard Shindell

My name is Mary Magdalen 

I come from Palestine 

Please excuse these rags I m in 

But I ve fallen on hard times 

But long ago I had my work 

When I was in my prime 

But I gave it up, and all for love 

It was his career or mine 

Jesus loved me 

This I know 

But why on earth 

Did I ever let him go 

He was always faithful 

He was always kind 

But he walked off 

With this heart of mine

A love like this will come but once 

This I do believe 

And I ll not see his like again 

As I live and breath 

And I m sorry if I might offend 

But I will never see 

How the tenderness I shared with him 

Became a heresy 

Jesus loved me 

This I know 

But why on earth 

Did I ever let him go 

He was always faithful 

He was always kind 

But he walked off 

With this heart of mine

But I remember nights we spent 

Whispering our creed 

Our rituals, our sacraments 

The stars our canopy 

There beneath an olive tree 

We d offer up our plea 

God s creation innocent 

His arms surrounding me 

Jesus loves me 

This I know 

But why on earth 

Did he ever have to go 

He was always faithful 

He was always kind 

But he walked off 

With this heart of mine
