Neil Diamond - Lady Magdelene Lyrics
Words and music by neil diamondThe man on the right is a man undoneHed give you his soul if you asked him for some.A child in his way for he needs to believeThat love is a song for each man to sing.The man on the left is a prize unwonA candle unlit and a song unsung.Believing that love is a dreamers dream,The man on the left the me in between.Lady magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpetCalling from the morning mountain,Singing to the passing river.Take me home, show me peaceful days before my youth has gone.The man in between waits between the twoNot hearing the lie and not seeing the true.Unknowing what is and denying what seemsAnd there he will sleep the man in between.Lady magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpetCalling from the morning mountain,Singing to the passing river.Take me home, show me peaceful days before my youth has gone.Lady magdelene, make the sound of silent thunderCalling from the lips of abrahamMake a sound that we may wonder, where we are.Take us to you soul for we have wandered far.The man on the right was a man undoneThe man on the left like a prize unwon.And God only knows what their time will bringOr what will become of the man in between.
