Met Mary Magdalene in a Twenty First Street bar
Her hair smelled like magnolias, she said she'd miss my old guitar
We drank a silent goodbye then I walked her to the station
She kissed me on the cheek and said I hope you find salvation, out there

You know behind the microphone, the nights all look the same
Crowd of lonely people, jaded lovers and old flames
The chime of empty bottles might sooth 'em for a while
But time flies by and tired eyes see through a fading smile

And down beneath Saint Francis Hotel, we'll dream of what we could have been
'Round where our chances fell we'll find them once again
Where angels land after the fall
to mend their broken wings or just forget it all

David's playin' blues harp, his own kind of gospel song
The Seraphim in the corner booth, their all trying to sing along
But they been too far from heaven, for far too many years
They tell themselves it will all come back, when they get away from here

And down beneath Saint Francis Hotel, we'll dream of what we could have been
'Round where our chances fell we'll find them once again
Where angels land after the fall
to mend their broken wings or just forget it all

Mary, I still sing that song we used to play
I miss you every moment, but I know you found your way
I feel your prayers surround my soul when I play that melody
And in the sweet scent of magnolias, you come drifting back to me

And down beneath Saint Francis Hotel, we'll dream of what we could have been
'Round where our chances fell we'll find them once again
Where angels land after the fall
to mend their broken wings or just forget it all
