Seven Black Feathers

[Verse] One for sorrow two for joy Counting birds with a boy Three for a girl four for a boy Magpies play we’re just their toys [Verse 2] Five for silver six for gold Stories of old being told Seven for a secret never to be told Life’s a mystery we unfold [Chorus] Feathers black white in the sky Magpie secrets never die Sing a song as they fly by Into shadows they will pry [Verse 3] Hard to see the truth they bring Morning bells begin to ring Messages from feathered kings Whispered clues they softly sing [Bridge] Dance in shadows hear their call Rise we rise though we may fall Echoes of their tales to all Skiffle punk we stand tall [Chorus] Feathers black white in the sky Magpie secrets never die Sing a song as they fly by Into shadows they will pry
