Shrike (Live At Windmill Lane Studios)歌词

I couldn't utter my love when it counted
But I'm singing like a bird about it now
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
But I'm singing like a bird about 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 met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is going with you now

Dragging along, following 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
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
But I was 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
