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
