Neko Case - Magpie to the Morning lyrics

Artist: Neko Case

album: The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You (Deluxe Edition)


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"
Black hands held so high
The vulture wheels and dives
Something on the thermals yanked his chain
He smelled your boring apex rotting on the train tracks
He laughed under his breath because you thought that you could
Outrun sorrow
Take your own advice
This thundering and lightning gets you rain
You run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition
To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain
A diamond at the bottom of the drain
(Here I go)
Mockingbird sings in the middle of the night
All his songs are stolen, so he hides
He stole them out from whippoorwills and screaming car alarms
He sings them for you, special
He knows you're afraid of the dark
C'mon sorrow, take your own advice
Hide under the bed, turn out the light
Stars this night in the sky are ringing out
You can almost hear them saying
"Close your eyes now, kid"
"Close your eyes now, kid"
Morning's teeth are lit
They are waiting (waiting)
Waiting
They are waiting
