MAGDALENE

Lyrics to Mary Magdalene
A woman’s work
A woman’s prerogative
A woman's time to embrace
She must put herself first
A woman's touch, a sacred geometry
I know where you start, where you end
How to please, how to curse

Yes, I learnt you needed me
Yes, I'm here to open you
Yes, I know that your heart is blue
(So cold)

I kneel before the fire
True as Mary Magdalene
Creature of desire
Come just a little bit closer to me
Step just a little bit closer to me
I can lift you higher
I do it like Mary Magdalene
I want you to say it
Come just a little bit closer till we collide

A woman's hands
So dark and provocative
A nurturing breathe that could stroke
Your divine confidence
A woman's war
Unoccupied history
True nature won't search to destroy
If it doesn't make sense

Yes, I learnt you needed me
Yes, I'm here to open you
Yes, I know that your heart is blue
(So cold)

I kneel before the fire
True as Mary Magdalene
Creature of desire
Come just a little bit closer to me
Step just a little bit closer to me
I can lift you higher
I do it like Mary Magdalene
I want you to say it
Come just a little bit closer till we collide

Oh, you didn't hear me now
Oh, you didn't hear me when I told you
Oh, you didn't hear me now

I kneel before the fire
True as Mary Magdalene
Creature of desire
Come just a little bit closer to me
Step just a little bit closer to me
I can lift you higher
I do it like Mary Magdalene
I want you to say it
Come just a little bit closer till we collide
