Lyrics
0:36I couldn't utter my love when it counted
0:44Ah but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
0:52And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
1:01Ah but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
1:09Words hung above but never would form
1:18Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
1:26Remember me love when I'm reborn
1:35As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
1:59I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
2:07All of that goodness is going with you now
2:15Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
2:24All of my goodness is going with you now
2:32Dragging along follow in your form
2:41Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
2:49Remember me love when I'm reborn
2:58As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
3:38I fled to the city with so much discounted
3:47Ah but I'm flying like a bird to you now
3:55Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
4:03Ah but I'm flying like a bird to you now
4:11I was housed by your warmth thus transformed
4:20By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
4:29Remember me love when I'm reborn
4:37As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I couldn't utter my love when it counted Ah but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted Ah but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now Words hung above but never would form Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn Remember me love when I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn I'd no idea on what ground I was founded All of that goodness is going with you now Then when I met you my virtues uncounted All of my goodness is going with you now Dragging along follow in your form Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn Remember me love when I'm reborn As the 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 housed by your warmth thus transformed By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn Remember me love when I'm reborn As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
