a Prayer For Madeleine

Madeleine shines in the darkness
Some think she's a beacon to the way
She wants for nothing
Her touch is golden
That's what people say
Madeleine's eyes are a brilliant blue
Some think it's a scandal the way she sees
No fear, no pain
Just fortune and fame
That's what they believe
But say a prayer for madeleine
Lonely heart at sea
Caught between the one she is
And who she wants to be
Say a prayer for madeleine

Perfection born
A need without a cause
A rose without a thorn
Madeleine once loved a sailor
A deceiver believer lady's man
Her heart was open but so quickly stolen
She couldn't understand
Madeline lost the sailor
On a peaceful evening opal tide
His charms were plenty
But she'd be just one of too many
So she took her heart to hide
But say a prayer for madeleine

Lonely heart at sea
Caught between the one she is
And who she wants to be
Say a prayer for madeleine
In perfection born
A need without a cause
A rose without a thorn
Her touch is velvet
The air is fragrant
Her voice is laughter
Happily ever after
But all alone there's
No kindred heart
She wants to belong
She stands apart
But say a prayer for madeleine
