Lady Magdalene
The lyrics pasted below, from Neil Diamond's incredibly moving song "Lady Magdalene," seemed somehow fitting for today...
Lady Magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpet
calling 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 thunder
calling from the lips of Abraham
make a sound that we may wonder, where we are.
Take us to your soul for we have wandered far.
Lady Magdelene, I can hear your distant trumpet
calling 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 thunder
calling from the lips of Abraham
make a sound that we may wonder, where we are.
Take us to your soul for we have wandered far.
