Magpie comes a calling Drops a marble from the sky Tin roof sounds alarm And 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 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 Thunder and lightening gets you rain 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 Hear the mocking bird sing In the middle of the night All of his songs are stolen so he hides Stole them out from whiporwills Screaming car alarms He sings them for you special He knows you’re afraid of the dark Come on 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 is too far lit They are waiting Waiting They are waiting
