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
