One For Sorrow Lyrics by Peco (IE)

The Middle Ages

2019

[Verse 1]
I hold my breath for hours
The air’s so delicate
I focus on the flowers
And tomorrow’s etiquette
This room holds the future
A future with a name
Bravery it suits you
And you’re putting me to shame
[Chorus]
'Cause magpies in the garden they look in when I look out
I'm a little superstitious but I'm beginning to lose doubts
I beg, steal and borrow
For that boy
One for sorrow
And it's one, two, one, two, three for joy
[Verse 2]
I’m not the happiest of campers
To ever walk this park
My thoughts are naturally inclined
To run a little dark
It’s something that I battle with
And I won’t allow to stand
So when joy like this comes calling
I will grab it with both hands
[Chorus]
'Cause magpies in the garden they look in when I look out
I'm a little superstitious but I'm beginning to lose doubts
I beg, steal and borrow
For that boy
One for sorrow
And it's one, two, one, two, three for joy
[Bridge]
There are moments in your life
That hold such great store
The only way to measure them
Is the after and before
You may curse or you may praise
Angels in the rafters
But for for me they have my grace
For you my ever after
[Chorus]
'Cause magpies in the garden they look in when I look out
I'm a little superstitious but I'm beginning to lose doubts
I beg, steal and borrow
For that boy
One for sorrow
And it's one, two, one, two, three for joy
