Magpie Songtext
feed the kittens in the kitchen

set food out for the strays

try hard to do your best

the magpie will have his way


fill your mouth with berries

by the full light of the moon

work all night if you have to

the magpie comes at noon



shore up the crucifixes

above the archways and the doors

the magpie will come at midday

and you will go down on all fours


and when the cherries ripe with blossoms

be ready and be brave

and remember what we had here

when there was something left to save
