"Two Magpies" lyrics
Like a dream seen awake
Blush in the dusk as fragile as a daisy chain
As cold as the first touch of the morning ocean
As red as the tips of your fingers by the fire
Like a dream seen awake
As the sun sets, our eyes land on two magpies in the garden
And you know, what that means. Don't you, darling?
It means joy
Like a dream awake
Like a dream seen awake
The stillness makes us panic just a little at first
My daughter's blowing bubbles but she laughs when they burst
Among the buttercups, the bluebells and the campion
Like a dream seen awake
Heart-shaped pebbles have a habit of finding their way
Into my mother's hands, into my mother's hands
Like a dream awake
Like a dream awake
Like a dream awake
Blush in the dusk as fragile as a daisy chain
As cold as the first touch of the morning ocean
As red as the tips of your fingers by the fire
Like a dream seen awake
As the sun sets, our eyes land on two magpies in the garden
And you know, what that means. Don't you, darling?
It means joy
Like a dream awake
Like a dream seen awake
The stillness makes us panic just a little at first
My daughter's blowing bubbles but she laughs when they burst
Among the buttercups, the bluebells and the campion
Like a dream seen awake
Heart-shaped pebbles have a habit of finding their way
Into my mother's hands, into my mother's hands
Like a dream awake
Like a dream awake
Like a dream awake
