Magpie, magpie
I’m sitting here watching the world go by
I wonder do you ever question why
Old crow, old crow
I’m sitting here wondering what you know
You’ve seen more of the day than I could dream
I do not know what to tell you
I do not know what to say to you
I do not know what would set you free
But it’s a hard hard fight
A hard hard fight
And I’m turning this one in
I’m turning this one in
I won’t turn back, I’ve seen the sun
I won’t turn back, not for anyone
I’ve seen the sign and I know what is mine
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Blue jay, blue jay
I don’t think you mean quite what you say
I don’t think you’re the friend you claim to be
Old crow, old crow
Won’t you tell me please tell me please what you know
You’ve seen more of the world than I could dream
I do not know what to tell you
I do not know what to say to you
I do not know what would set you free
But it’s a hard hard fight
a hard hard fight
and I’m turning this one in
I’m turning this one in
I won’t turn back, I’ve seen the sun
I won’t turn back, not for anyone
I’ve seen the sign and I know I am free
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Silence me and I won’t be here anymore
Silence me and I won’t be here anymore
Silence me and I won’t be here anymore
Silence me and I won’t be here anymore
