[00:00.000] 作曲 : Tamara Lindeman[00:00.455] I was woken up in the early morning[00:04.810] After my flight, by a sound I could not grasp[00:10.578] I did not recognize[00:15.338] Running like water, two toned, and tangled[00:20.353] Like a wire flowing many sounds all at once[00:29.106][00:29.563] "It was a magpie" you told me[00:33.378] As you handed me a coffee[00:37.261] "The black and white bird you see in city parks"[00:44.467] And you pointed out the window[00:48.406] Looking straight in at me[00:51.825] A black and white bird sitting on the fence[00:56.684][00:59.235] I thought about the man who called it a magpie[01:03.537] Confronted by the great expanse of his ignorance[01:07.921] He wanted to name it, to detain it[01:14.240] Forever in that small phrase[01:19.733] It seemed like a shame to give it a name[01:25.727][01:27.910] But then again, I don't understand anything the way I'm supposed to[01:34.834] I drag every river for meaning, scrape my hand on every ceiling[01:42.447] I never know what to say or not say[01:46.180] What to honour or betray in any given day[01:50.791][01:56.085] But I never got used to the sound of the magpie[02:00.804] It set my skin on edge, it called like a child[02:05.203] Like a dog, like the wind caught in a fence[02:11.028] When we talked it interrupted[02:15.315] And I would never know what it meant
