Song Description

its about where i grew up, leaving my childhood home behind, who influenced me and how wherever i go i always see a magpie and reflecting on some unhappiness

Lyrics

there is a magpie here who follows me wherever i go,
look hes up there in that tree,
hes getting nearer
flys past my window

whethere im walking
whether im driving
whether im living
wheter im dying
whether im singing here
singing for you

there is a magpie here
who follows me wherever i go

chorus:
aah sorrow or joy
aah a girl or a boy
aah silver or gold
or a story to be told

if theres a story to be told
at no. 6 rectory close
there an only child lived
with her head full of music and hope
what is her mother gave her the music
was is her father gave her the cheer
is that why im singing here
singing for you
she used to roam the woodlands
there was never a magpie in tow

chorus:
solo
chorus:

and now ive left that girl
to the woodlands and her childhood home
the magpie circles high
spreads its wings to the berkshire sky
