Magpie To The Mornong

Magpie comes a calling Drops a marble from the sky Tin roof sounds alarm And wake up child Let this be a warning says the magpie to the morning Don’t let this fading summer pass you by Don’t let this fading summer pass you by Black hands held so high The vulture wheels and dives Something on the thermals yanked his chain Smelled your boring apex rotting on the train tracks He laughed under his breath Because you   thought that you could outrun sorrow Take your own advice Thunder and lightening gets you rain Run an airtight mission a Cousteau expedition   To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain   A diamond at the bottom of the drain Hear the mocking bird sing In the middle of the night   All of his songs are stolen so he hides    Stole them out from whiporwills Screaming car alarms He sings them for you special He knows you’re afraid of the dark Come on sorrow Take your own advice   Hide under the bed Turn out the light   Stars this night in the sky are ringing out    You can almost hear them saying    "Close your eyes now kid"   "Close your eyes now kid" Morning is too far lit   They are waiting Waiting        They are waiting
