Well since my lady left me
      I found a new place to be
It's out on the isle of Lindesfarne
      It's called a Monastery

Oh baby, my heart was so lonely baby,
My heart was so lonely,
My heart was so lonely, I could die.

Well we pray from morn to ev'ning
The dress codes brown or black
From holy life at Lindesfarne
We'll never, ever go back

Oh baby, my heart was so lonely baby,
My heart was so lonely,
My heart was so lonely, I could die.

Well if your lady leaves you
And you just can't stop the hurt
Devote your life to holy vows
And join the mother church
