lyrics

black madonna in your carousel of careful
you got four children in your surround
all little hands all reachin for ya
your kindness to them is a healing on this train

chorus
black madonna hurtling through this endless night
black madonna you are sweeping into uptown
a prayer you'll find you waiting when you get there
an angel in your man's arms

cuz why take chances if you dont really have to
the world has showed its face to you
set the carriage in the middle like a mirror
and turn the hateful back from where they came from

chorus

i want a man who really loves me
if that's too much i dont give a damn
it's 9 parts sorrow 1 part hopeful for the loving
that's what it feels like at the end of a black madonna day

chorus
