lyrics

Magpie, Magpie, I see you
Magpie, Magpie, you're not all black and white.
When I get close to you, I see,
I see your colors.
You're blue, what makes you?
Is it the clefts in your feet?
Is it your carrion beak?
Is the the sun that makes you weep,
or the sun that makes you?

Magpie, Magpie, I know you.
Magpie, Magpie, your eyes aren't drenched in white.
When I get close to you, I see,
I see your colors.
Your eyes are red. What makes them?
Is it your blood that's thinning,
or a brotherhood?
Is it your sun going down?

Magpie, Magpie, I read you.
Magpie, Magpie, you're not in two-tone type.
When I get close to you, I see,
I see your colors.
You're green. Magpie, is it me?
Is it your need to be free,
uncaged and singing?
Is it your sun going down over a sea?

Leftmore Denver, Colorado

Leftmore is an indie acoustic rock act from Colorado, started in 2005 by Matthew Shaw and Joe Ziegler. Joe went solo from late in 2009 to early in 2014, one part story-teller, one part emotive melody, and at least one part human. Matt rejoined with Chris Doxtator on drums and Geoff Brent on bass guitar. The lineup now vacillates between the solo, duo, and quartet conditionally based on time-space. ... more
