The Magpie

The clean air in the morning The sunshine on your face The magpie sounds a warning Then leaves without a trace Transient an traceless She never left a mark Well you do if you don't And there's always a want for more The shadow of a memory A dream that lingers on An ambition and a faint idea The vision of a song The smell that you'd forgotten You even thought you knew Well you do if you don't And there's always a want for more Pass it on just like you found it You're better as a dream For others to aspire to Vaporized like steam The need to be immortal Is vainglorious at best Well you will if you won't And you'll do if you don't And there's always a want for more
