lyrics

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
