Magpie Heart - Alison Jenkins 2021
You’ve got a magpie heart
‘cause you see the smallest detail
and you make it art
and So I bring you stuff
lay it at your door and that’s enough
Let’s get lost,
Lost in the little things
Let’s get lost, ooh
Give this bird some wings
The world gets stranger every year
and all our troubles
aren’t just going to disappear
But I’m safe here in your nest
so I fold my wings and I come to rest
Let’s get lost
Lost in the little things
Let’s get lost, ooh
Teach this bird to sing
You’ve got a magpie heart
It’s bold and it’s quirky,
secretive and smart
One day you’ll fly away
So I bring you something shiny
enticing you to stay
Let’s get lost
Lost in the little things
Let’s get lost, ooh
Give this bird some wings
You’ve got a magpie soul
and though the bitter years
may take their toll
Keep a bright eye and a curious heart
Keep taking trash and turn it into art
Let’s get lost
Lost in the little things
Let’s get lost, ooh
Teach this bird to sing

Death Bloom - A. Jenkins
Pretty little girl in the red red dress
Your makeup’s run and your hair’s a mess
Walked your boots where they shouldn’t be
So when it all goes bad don’t come cryin’ to me
Oh, where’d you go
Death bloom
Somebody’s sister, somebody’s daughter
We looked in the woods, we looked in the water
Faded sign, smiling face
But now you’re gone without a trace
Oh, love you so
Death bloom
Everybody’s talkin’ but there’s nothing to tell
Since you’ve gone we’ve gone to hell
Somebody somewhere broke the law
What was the last thing that you saw?
Oh, where’d you go
Death bloom
Beautiful girl, pretty little flower
Only bloomed once, then it all went sour
Once you bloomed, but now you’re gone
And the heartache just goes on and on
Oh, miss you so
Oh, where’d you go
Death bloom

Thirsty - A. Jenkins August 2022
They say the storm is coming, they say it’s gonna rain
and when the heavens open there will be life again
They whisper worthless promises into an empty sky
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry
I looked across the desert, I saw you in the sand
and something in me shifted the day you took my hand
I could make a garden with all the tears I cry
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry
I’m longing for your loving, your fingers on my skin
a drop of water on my tongue, that’s how I let you in
And now I cannot give you up, no matter how I try
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry
He must be a loving man, a tender man and true
He must be devoted, to be so sweet to you
And he must be a good man, to put up with your lies
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry
I’m diving in the water, I’m swimming in the sea
and I could fill an ocean with all you mean to me
I know our time is ending, I have to say goodbye
I’m so thirsty but the well is running dry
With every day that passes I dig a deeper well
but there’s nothing at the bottom- this one leads straight to hell
I pray for my salvation, I worry for my soul
for there’s no mercy waiting at the bottom of this hole
and I will see the devil the moment that I die
But I’m so thirsty and the well is running dry

Ghost In This House - Alison Jenkins
They’re beating on drums tonight, and they’re singing
I don’t know what they’re angry about
Probably everything
Heart was so loud in my chest, I just had to get out
There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost in this house
I’m there on the outside, and I’m looking in
Story of my damn life
Again and again
It’s like I’m here in a story
Don’t know what it’s about
There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost in this house
Ooooh
Don’t know how it happened
Guess I just let it
It was probably easier
Though it’s hard to admit it
Spent so much time building a wall
Now it’s hard to break out
There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost in this house
I drift through the days now
The nights are harder
I’ve just got to keep things in some kind of order
Living life in a whisper
when I just want to shout
There’s a ghost, there’s a ghost in this house
They’re beating on drums tonight
