Magdelina Songtext

Awaiting my treasure drifting ashore When from the galleys we're set free And I'll never give you more Than the time that we save Magdelina I forgave And I will feel everything There are bridges burning here and we have to keep below Lest the guns should overtake us and let out the final blow A deserter I'll be hung, though every battle I have won And I won't feel anything Hey Magdelina, there is only now to lay aside All the bad dreams of your past have been lost in the fire Remember, soon I'll be back to bathe in your smile And touch a long time indeed
