CI couldn't utter my love when it Dmcounted
Ah, but I'm singing like a Fbird, 'bout it Cnow
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it Dmshouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a Fbird, 'bout it Cnow

AmWords hung aGbove
But Cnever would Fform
AmLike a cry at the Gfinal Cbreath that is Amdrawn
AmRemember me Glove, when CI'm F7+ reborn
AmAs the shrike to your Gsharp and glorious tChorn

Had 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
