Johnny Cash Album: Personal File - Disc 2 (Legacy Recordings) Track: Lights of Magdala
Lights of Magdala Lyrics Oh the lights of Magdala flicker dimly on the shore Holy sailor, sailing on the sea Patiently waiting, she walks quietly to the door Another lonely night in Galilee
Magdalene, don't wrap your dreams in sorrow Save them for tomorrow, if it comes When we'll meet within a circle round the sun If heaven were a lady, don't you know, you'd have been the one
To the streets of Jerusalem you followed Him once more Your holy sailor's come home from the sea But somewhere, someone's calling Him to a distant golden shore Far from the lonely nights in Galilee
Magdalene, don't wrap your dreams in sorrow Save them for tomorrow, if it comes When we'll meet within a circle round the sun If heaven were a lady, I know, you'd been the one
