Two Magpies - The Fireman

I saw two magpies

A girl and a boy

One for sorrow

Two for joy

With no salutes

I move away

And long to face, face, face

Face down fear

I saw two magpies

There was a girl and a boy

One for sorrow

Two for joy

Content to cry

No more to lie

I move away

And lie in truth

Look two magpies

A girl and a boy

One for sorrow

And two for joy

Three for a girl

Four for a boy

I saw two magpies

Two for joy

Content to cry

No more to lie

In truth with you

To face down fear

Content to cry

No more to lie

No more to lie

And face down fear
