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?
