There's a magpie came today
Took someone we loved away
There's no rhyme or reason
For the time and place
Such an early season
To have run your race
Now it rains inside
A hole in my heart so wide
That the magpie's torn
Since you have gone
There's a card been laid
With a price you shouldn't have to pay
There's no suit or number
To explain what fell
This ungodly plunder
This mean swell
Now it rains inside
A hole in my heart so wide
That the magpie's torn
Since you have gone
There's a magpie came today
Took someone we loved away
There's no rhyme or reason
For the time and place
Such an early season
To have run your race
Now it rains inside
A hole in my heart so wide
That the magpie's torn
Since you have gone
