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 etc
