I couldn't utter my love when it counted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
The bites on above But never would form Like a cry at the final Breath that is drawn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As the shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn ♪ And I had no idea on what ground I was found in All of that goodness is goin' with you now
Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is goin' with you now
Driving alone Following your form Hung like the pelt Of some prey you had worn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn ♪ I fled to the city with so much discounted ♪ Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now ♪ Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now I was hatched by your warmth Thus transformed But you're grounded and giving And darkening scorn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn
