Sweet Magdalena Of My Misfortune

I have lost the one I love to someone else
She lies beside me, but she's not here, she's far away
She's talking softly, she's talking sweetly about a dream
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where have you gone?

Things I lost, left behind, or threw away
They gather in the dusky light of reverie
Always with me, where I go, sweet company, or is it misery?
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where have you gone?

And there are so many ways to go and lay your burdens down
Yeah, so many hours from now to the dawn
Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay just one more day
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where have you gone?
Yeah, ooh
Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay just one more day
Sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?
Yeah, sweet Magdalena of my misfortune, where are you now?
