Magpie to the Morning歌词

The magpie comes a-calling
Drops a marble from the sky
Tin roof sounds alarming
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 thermos yanked his chain

He smelled your boring apex
Rotting on the train tracks
He laughed under his breath
Because you thought you could outrun sorrow

Take your own advice

Cause thunder and lightning gets you rain

Run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition
Find a diamond at the bottom of the drain

A diamond at the bottom of the drain

Mockingbirds sing in the middle of the night

All his songs are stolen so he hides

Stolen from the mouth of the whiporwill, screaming car alarms

He sings I'm four years special

He knows you're afraid of the dark
Come on sorrow, take your own advice

Hide under the bed, turn out the light
The 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's teeth are lit

They are waiting

They are waiting
