Heather Nova - Magpie Lyrics

Heather Nova Lyrics

"Magpie"

Goodbye magpie
You were never mine
From the moment that I saw you
I knew that you would fly
Mmm

All the roads that lead to nowhere
Brought to me to your door
All the ways I couldn't reach you
Leave me wanting more

Goodbye magpie
You had me from the start
But only when I held the spotlight
Could I crack your heart
Mmm

All the roads that lead to nowhere
Brought to me to your door
All the ways I couldn't reach you
Leave me wanting more

Black wings in a blue sky
Ooh

Goodbye magpie
Leave me in the dust
All the shiny things that sparkle
One day turn to rust
Mmm

All the roads that lead to nowhere
Brought to me to your door
All the ways I couldn't reach you
Leave me wanting more

Black wings in a blue sky
Goodbye magpie
Black wings in a blue sky
Goodbye magpie
