   Hi Brendan, Would you mind posting the lyrics as I couldn’t hear many of the lines well. I did hear references to birds and “bickering and sniggering”?
   but would like to hear the song words in full as I know you are a craftsman at it, I think you gave this song a gentle treatment and I suspect I would like it sung stronger – like you are telling the world – “I’m lucky in love”!
   Best wishes to you and your family. Will catch up soon.

     Thanks, David! It’s always great to get your feedback, and it’s a good point about singing out more. These are the lyrics.

     Here comes a magpie, looking for the win
     But I’m only superstitious when he brings his twin
     Things could be better, things could be worse
     I’ve had your blessing and I don’t believe in a curse

     I’m tired of all the noisy talk
     It’s like a jackdaw fighting with a sparrowhawk
     There’s no engagement, there’s nothing new
     But all I need is what I get from you

     I don’t care about the bickering, the sniggering, the swinging of a hangman’s knot
     I don’t want to know the history of who said what
     I just want to see the rabbits in the fields and birds singing in the sky above
     I don’t care about money ’cos I’m lucky in love

     You are a calmness in the hurricane
     You are excitement that I can’t explain
     But angry people with their pointless words
     Are like the dogs in the garden, barking at the birds

     I remember all the songs we’ve sung
     A spider’s web on which some notes are hung
     To praise the living and mourn the dead
     But winter’s coming and the butter breaks the bread
