Shrike Lyrics

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 bite on above

But never would fall in

Like a crane at the final breath that is drawn

Remember me, love when everyone

Is a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

And I had no idea on what ground I was found in

All that goodness is gone with you now

There when I met you my virtues uncounted

All of my goodness is gone with you now

Driving alone, following your form

Hung like the pearl of some prey you had worn

Remember me love, when everyone

Is 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 highest by your warmth

And I was transformed

But your gounded and giving

And darkening scorn

Remember me, love when I'm reborn

As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
