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 truce
Look two magpies
A girl and a boy
One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl and four for a boy
I saw two magpies
Two for joy
Content to cry no more to lie
Truth with you
To face down fear, content to cry
No more to lie, no more to lie
And face down fear
