Magpie to the Morning (Bonus Track) - Neko Case

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

Come on sorrow

Take your own advice

This thundering and lightning gets you rain

I m on a top secret mission

A Cousteau expedition

To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain

A diamond at the bottom of the drain

A diamond at the bottom of the drain

Mocking bird sings

In the middle of the night

All his songs are stolen and he hides

He stole them from the Whippoorwills

And the yellow little light

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

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

These old dreams are hid

They are waiting

Waiting

They are waiting
