Magdalene

In the midnight I did not find The one whom my heart loves So by the moonlight I searched for streetlights To find the one whom my heart loves I had hardly even left Taken a few steps When I found you Oh I found you I sought and found I sought and found I sought until I found You were sitting As they were watching But they couldn't see your fate So I knelt down And poured the oil out And they ask me why this waste? Oh how they trouble me But it's told in memory I sought and found I sought and found I sought until I found you You saw me weeping While you were gardening Planting pruning round the tomb You asked politely But I denied thee I couldn't tell that it was you Woman why do you weep For the one your soul to keep has found you Oh he's found you If you carried him away Tell me then where he lay I've seen the Lord I've seen the Lord I've seen the Lord The one you're looking for
