A Vulgar Picture - One Magpie

One Magpie


Life ain't what it used to be
Like magic you disappeared
Of all the places we had to meet
Fuel my fire
In a cemetery
As I lay these flowers down
In turn I'll not make a sound
Just wonder what could have been
The death of you was the death of me

Not a thing
Can bring you back again
No power of prayer
My silent partner
One magpie plays my heart strings

Life now seems so surreal
Sometimes I see your family
Your mothers gone
The reality was a mountain way to steep
Darkened skies
Unevading eyes
Desert storms felt at home inside
Navigation can never guide
Where to go when you've died inside

Not a thing
Can bring you back again
No power of prayer
My silent partner
One magpie plays my heart strings

Not a thing
Can make this heart sing
When time is up
Your bang out of luck
Death of you
Shouldn't be

Life ain't what it used to be
Like magic you disappeared
Of all the places a cemetery
Fuel my fire
You were seventeen
