lyrics

Silver and golden heads shed a little hair each day
A bright woollen strand from a Yuletide jumper
All in a domed nest of thorny twigs are laid
With shiny sweet wrappers and other magpie plunder

I bid them good morning in case of misfortune
Is it two for joy or a pair for mirth?
Perched on a wire and wall ready to caution
Lest any creature threaten their life on earth

Eight you live and nine you die
Ten for devouring a bogey pie
Each number a meaning for every magpie
But beware of thirteen for it’s the devil himself

There are no birdbrains here, only lightning perception
Grief and respect for their own who have fallen
Each offers grass for a wreath of affection
They swoop to the vigil when they hear the calling
