Magpie from The Heights by Linda Ronald

You had your time
In the sun
Flying so high, you caught their eyes
Every single one

You played your role
The girl that you wanted to be
You made them believe
Let them see what they wanted to see

You fed them dreams
They swallowed them whole
The bigger the lies
The stronger their hold

You started to believe
The tall tales you told
You started to forget
All that glitters isn’t gold

Magpie say goodbye
To your thieving days
Magpie ain’t no one got time
For your lying ways

When you laid down
Alone in your bed
Did it keep you awake
Keeping them straight, the lies in your head

Starting over again
Would you change your ways
Or is your mind just bent
Towards the day you get out of this cage

Magpie say goodbye
To your thieving days
Magpie ain’t no one got time
For your lying ways

And your mama says she knows that they raised you straight
And your daddy, he don’t know when you lost your way
And your friends, they’re left trying to separate
The truth from lies, and while they try
It’s gonna be some time till you fly again

Magpie say goodbye
To your thieving days
Magpie ain’t no one got time
For your lying ways
