shrike

Hozier

I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, bird at night
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, bird at night

Bites on above
But never would fall in
Like a cray at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me, love when I am reborn
As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

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 [Â?] you had worn
Remember me, love when I am reborn
As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn soil

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 [?] by your warmth
And I was transformed
But your gounded and giving
And darkening scorn
Remember me, love when I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
Is a shrike to your shine and glorious soil
