Magdalene Lyrics - Procol Harum

(brooker / reid) 

Though I know the night has fallen and the sun's sailed out to sea 

I will wait here for the band to play the trumpet voluntary 

And with one foot on the seashore and the other in the sand 

I will stand here plaiting daisies whilst you play the piano-grand 

Caprice, your bugle blew away the cobwebs from my ears 

And for once I stood quite naked. unashamed, I wept the tears 

Which I tried to hide inside myself from me, I mean from you 

But the shame I found too painful and the pain it only grew
