Lyrics

[00:41.05] I couldn't utter my love when it counted
[00:50.07] But I'm singing like a bird about it now
[00:58.51] And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
[01:06.96] But I'm singing like a bird about it now
[01:11.94]
[01:14.91] Words hung above, but never would form
[01:24.61] Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
[01:33.26] Remember me, love when I'm reborn
[01:43.07] As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[01:50.80]
[02:06.75] I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
[02:14.91] All of that goodness is going with you now
[02:23.71] Then when met you, my virtues uncounted
[02:32.24] All of my goodness is going with you now
[02:37.26]
[02:40.71] Dragging along, following your form
[02:49.94] Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
[02:58.76] Remember me love, when I'm reborn
[03:07.50] As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
[03:16.28]
[03:49.07] I fled to the city with so much discounted
[03:57.72] But I'm flying like a bird to you now
[04:06.39] Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
[04:15.00] Ah but I'm flying like a bird to you now
[04:19.92]
[04:22.11] I was housed by your warmth
[04:26.67] But I was transformed
[04:31.80] By your grounded and giving
[04:36.36] And darkening scorn
[04:41.31] Remember me love, when I'm reborn
[04:49.99] As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
