Magpie, oh lonely magpie,

I hear your song tonight,

A mournful cry through icy winds,

Carried on the frosty light.

Black against the moonlit snow,

You perch on cedar’s bough.

Do you sing for love now lost?

I feel you do somehow.

Magpie, oh lonely magpie,

Come and sit with me awhile.

The fire will chase the chill away,

Perhaps, we'll find peace somehow.

I know the cold that fills your voice,

The ache you carry near.

Though we can't undo the shadows past,

For now, we’re warm, right here.

Magpie, oh lonely magpie,

Your song and mine align.

Two hearts alone on Christmas Eve,

But less alone tonight.

Magpie, oh quiet magpie,

The flames begin to glow,

Casting light on heavy hearts,

Buried deep in drifting snow.

The cedar whispers carols low,

A hymn to silent nights gone by,

As sadness dances in your eyes,

And fills the starry sky.

Magpie, oh faithful magpie,

We'll share some calm this Christmas Eve,

Stay with me 'til the sun appears

Then, I know you'll have to leave.

The holly frames the cold, crisp air,

The world's aglow with cheer.

Yet even in this festive time,

I feel you linger near.

Magpie, oh lonely magpie,

Stay with me 'til the dawn.

The night is long, but not so dark

When we are not alone.

The cedar whispers carols low,

A hymn to silent nights gone by,

As sadness dances in your eyes,

And fills the starry sky.

Magpie, oh faithful magpie,

We'll share some calm this Christmas Eve,

Stay with me 'til the sun appears

Then, I know you'll have to leave.

The holly frames the cold, crisp air,

The world's aglow with cheer.

Yet even in this festive time,

I feel you linger near.

Magpie, oh lonely magpie,

Stay with me 'til the dawn.

The night is long, but not so dark

When we are not alone.
