Текст Patrick Wolf – Magpie
Текст:
PATRICK:
Magpie, was it you who stole the wedding ring? or what other thieving bird would steal such hope away? magpie, I am lost among the hinterland, caught among the bracken and the fern and the boys who have no name
MARIANNE
there’s no name for us
PATRICK
still we sing
MARIANNE:
And still we sing. little boy, little boy, lost and blue, listen now, let me tell you what to do. you can run on, run along, alone or home between the knees of her; all among her bracken and her ferns and the boy will have a name
BOTH
we will sing
MARIANNE
and we will sing
MARIANNE
one for sorrow
PATRICK
two for joy
MARIANNE
three for a girl
PATRICK
four for a boy
MARIANNE
five for silver
PATRICK
six for gold
MARIANNE
seven for a secret, never to be told
