Patrick Wolf - Magpie Lyrics
[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
[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
[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

Patrick Wolf Magpie Comments
I’ve been looking for this song for months. Could remember the melody but not the lyrics! Thanks for uploading.
This is just magnificent.
the magic sound
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.
there's No Name For Us
But Still We Sing
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 or home
Between the knees of her,
All among her bracken and her ferns,
And the boy will have a name.
And We Will Sing
And We Will Sing,
One For Sorrow
Two For Joy
Three For A Girl
Four For A Boy
Five For Silver
Six For Gold
Seven For A Secret, , Never To Be Told
Beautiful music & lyrics.
Great song, such melancholy
Thanks for the upload, this is not on spotify and I missed it so much.
