Tonalité : A minor
Verse 1
Am
G
I was woken up in the early morning,
Dm
after my flight
Am
G
By a sound I could not grasp,
I did not recognize
Dm
Am
Running like water,
G
Dm
two toned, and tangled
Am
G
Like a briar holding many sounds,
all at once
Dm
Verse 2
G
"It was a magpie",
Dm
C
F
you told me as you handed me a coffee
G
The black and white bird
Dm
you see in city parks
F
G
Dm
And you pointed out the window,
C
F
looking straight in at me
G
A black and white bird
Dm
sit ting on the fence
F
Verse 3
Am
I thought about the man
G
who called it a magpie
Dm
C
Confronted by the great ex
Am
G
panse of his ignorance
Dm
C
He wanted to name it,
Am
G
Dm
to detain it forever in that small phrase
C
F
It seemed like a shame to give it a name
Verse 4
F
Dm
C
But then again, I don't understand
F
anything the way I'm supposed to
Dm
C
I drag every river for meaning,
F
G
scrape my hand on every ceiling
Dm
C
I never know what to say or not say
F
What to honour or betray
G
in any given day
Verse 5
G
Am
But I never got used to the
G
sound of the magpie
Dm
C
Am
It set my skin on edge, called like a child
G
Like a dog,
Dm
C
like the wind caught in a fence
Am
G
When we talked, it interrupted
Dm
C
G
And I would never know what it meant
