Cracker - Sweet Magdalena lyrics

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, my misfortune, where are you now?

The things I lost, I left behind, I threw away

They're gathering the dusky light of reverie

Always with me, where I go, sweet company, or is it misery?

Sweet Magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?

There's so many ways to go [L.A.?], you better [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, my misfortune, where are you now?

Yeah, ooh

Yeah, so many words I never found to make you stay just one more day

Sweet Magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?

Yeah, sweet Magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?
