Hush, a wild violet, hush, a band of gold
Hush, you're in a story I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
You have found another, oh baby, I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie
Hush, my love, the rain now, hush, my love was so true
Hush, my love, a train now, well, it takes me away from you
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
And hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie
Hush, you're in a story I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
You have found another, oh baby, I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie
Hush, my love, the rain now, hush, my love was so true
Hush, my love, a train now, well, it takes me away from you
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
And hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head, Marie

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
The lyrics make me believe that it's about a couple having a conversation after some time apart ("Hush my love a train now well it takes me away from you"). Because of the distance and time, the girl, Marie, has someone else in her mind and as such he decides to leave.
However he leaves with a broken heart ("Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today") and hope that she feels the same pain ("Hang down your head for me") -- as opposed to being happy that he's leaving.
