Shrike - Hozier
Lyrics by：A. Hozier-Byrne
Composed by：A. Hozier-Byrne
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
