Magpie Lyrics - Magic Position - Patrick Wolf

Magpie 

Was it you who stole the wedding ring? 

Or what other thieving bird 

Would steal such hope away? 

Magpie 

I am lost among the hinterland 

Caught among the bracken and the fern 

And the boys who have no name 

There's no name for us 

Still we sing 

And still we sing 

Little boy, little boy, lost and blue 

Listen now, let me tell you what to do 

You can run on, run along, alone 

Or home between the knees of her 

All among her bracken and her ferns 

And the boy will have a name 

We will sing and we will sing 

One for sorrow two for joy 

Three for a girl, four for a boy 

Five for silver, six for gold 

Seven for a secret, never to be told
