about

Written while under a tree in Colorado full of Magpies.

Sung to the one I brung.

lyrics

Underneath the magpie tree
that's where she was kissing me
Holding hands till the break of day
Wouldn't have it any other way
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Rolling in my baby's love
Sent to me from up above
Underneath that Magpie tree
That's the place we had to be
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Sometimes in the shade
sometimes in the sun
Feels like its been finished
when its only just begun

Underneath the Magpie tree
that's where he made love to me
rolling in his riverbed
I'll stay with you until I'm dead
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Underneath the Magpie Tree
that's where she looked into me
Saw my heart was made of gold
Warmed me up and flushed the cold
Oh oh, oh oh oh

Sometimes on the sunny side
sometimes in the shade
without one penny to our names
we somehow got it made

Underneath the Magpie tree
that's the place we'll always be
rolling in your river bed
I'll stay with you until I'm dead
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Underneath the Magpie tree
that's where she was kissing me
Holding hands till the break of day
Wouldn't have it any other way
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
