Magdalena Lyrics - Leo Sayer

Magdalena sits in her chair 

Speaking on the mass 

She talks in splice and splinters 

She laughs not breaking glass 

She says that she would have me 

Spirit her away 

Stealing all my images 

Till there's nothin' left to say 

Oh, Magdalena 

Nothing like the saint you are 

Your love is like a razor 

My heart is just a scar 

Oh, Magdalena 

Nothing like the saint you are 

She tells me that she wants me 

Then she tells me not to bother 

She tells me that I couldn't hold 

A candle to her father 

She knows that she's got me 

When I start to rave about 

She'll just smile and flash her eyes 

And blow the candle out 

Oh, Magdalena 

Oh, Magdalena 

Nothing like the saint you are 

Magdalena lying there 

Could make a dancer stumble 

Make a preacher bite his tongue 

And leave him with a mumble 

And if you think I'm crazy, babe 

Or that I'm kiddin' you 

Just pay your dues and lose your blues 

When she gets her tongue in you 

Oh, Magdalena 

Nothing like the saint you are 

Your love is like a razor 

My heart is just a scar 

Oh, Magdalena 

Nothing like the saint you are 

Well, I can't be forgotten and I can't be ignored 

You find me with my poems and my songs 

But if upon your journey, you're returning to L.A. 

Won't you take this little red-haired girl along? 

Oh, Magdalena 

Nothing like a saint you are 

Your love is like a razor 

My heart is just a scar 

Oh, Magdalena 

Nothing like a saint you are
