Magpie Lyrics by Ella Hunt

Magpie (Ella Hunt)

2020

[Verse 1]
There's a man on the street
With a wide stance and a gun
He's wearing a face mask
I ask if he has an extra one

He says 'Not today. Now, please
Step back six feet away'
I wish he'd ask how I was doing
I wish I could say okay

[Bridge]
But even the cobbles are lonely today
The city that never sleeps
Is sleeping

[Verse 2]
I saw a magpie by my window
I thought bad luck
But then another came along

I discard my superstitions
When they don't go my way
I am decidedly blue
And blue is how I'll stay

[Chorus]
Until the streets are filled with people
Who hug and touch and say hello
Until the only fear that exists
Is a fear we already know

Not a fear that silently closes
Every bar, every public room
Just bone breaks and cancer
And the usual doom and gloom

Even lady liberty silently cries
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes

Until the streets are filled with people
Who hug and touch and say hello
Until the only fear that exists
Is a fear we already know

Not a fear that silently closes
Every bar, every public room
Just bone breaks and cancer
And the usual doom and gloom

Even the cobbles are lonely today
The city that never sleeps is sleeping
Even lady liberty silently cries
The city that never sleeps is closing her eyes
